I’m curious because I noticed the medication I’m currently on helps me emotionally regulate myself but doesn’t prevent me from thinking about how it still sucks.

I’m trying my damndest to reframe how I think about things. God is it hard though 😮‍💨

    Medication, DBT therapy, and being exposed to rejection over and over again. Sucks but true. Rejection gets easier to manage the more you are exposed to it.

        I had a DBT group therapist who was not very experienced, so I ended up just buying the "DBT Training Manual" and associated workbook and teaching myself. I read that manual front to back like a Tom Clancy novel and it way less stress than having to rely on the pace and interpretations of someone else. Also very philosophically interesting book, I recommend it to anyone.
