I am posting here because I know a lot of you have done DBT and might have some advice. The 10 year aniversary of my rape is this week and my mental health is taking a serious dive. Some background: when I was first raped I reported to the police but they didn't believe me (yup still angry about this). I don't want to go into details of the rape because I don't want to trigger anybody but I had been drinking so I automatically wasn't taken seriously. I spent many years suppressing the memories before I finally got councelling and saw a psychologist (who diagnosed me with bpd). So it hasn't been that long of me actually talking about it and while I do now have a therapist I won't see her for a couple of weeks.

I can't stop thinking about it and wishing I had done things differently... stayed home or pushed harder with the police... you name it. I want to come to a place of acceptance about it. I keep telling myself that I cannot change the past but I still keep coming back to it in my mind.

I am really new to DBT so while I do think it will help in the long run, I need some help. If you have any suggestions please tell me. Thanks.
