Yes, I have BPD and have been diagnosed for 8 years and since I was 13 I did DBT, through my adult years, and it did nothing for me. In CBT now but thinking of switching to a newer type of therapy that’s coming out and supposed to be helping borderlines.

Same. Nothing else really worked for me but DBT was actually pretty helpful

sooo, im bipolar but my doctor wants me to do a full panel evaluation because i also show a lot of BPD symptoms that dont overlap with bipolar, ive tried talk therapy in the past and absolutely hated it… My doctor recommended DBT, but i dont think ill like it at all tbh… id rather do some like trauma therapy or somatic more activity based idk if that makes any sense like ive seen people do things with music, and like shroom trials

Look into CPTSD as well because BPD has a lot of similar symptoms to CPTSD!

I have looked into it tbh 😅 I think my symptoms are way more aligned with bpd. idk though i will have to do a full psych evaluation but from what i know about bpd… i check every box

That’s what dbt was invented for, not saying it should work I just want to like add that in for context - it was developed for borderline personality disorder and the overwhelming emotions. CBT doesn’t work for me, just felt like gaslighting myself tbh
