Dialectical Behavior Therapy #DBT is a godsend for folks with personality disorders, and I really think just about anyone - mentally ill or not - could benefit from its concepts.

As someone who simultaneously struggles with Borderline Personality Disorder #BPD and Attention Deficit Disorder #ADD/#ADHD, being able to consistently implement and maintain the principles of DBT feels like a monumental and discouraging challenge, not the least of which is the cost of attending traditional #therapy when my partner and I are struggling just to survive. And in order to become stable enough to survive, we need to develop the #CopingSkills taught in DBT.. but we can't afford it!

My ADHD augments my BPD, leaving me with zero self-discipline. For example, I've dabbled with Duolingo and have a 42 day streak going, it's probably the longest amount of time I've maintained a healthy habit in my entire life. I need help to focus and I'm tired of being ashamed to say so.

I realize people need to be compensated for their pioneering work in behavioral therapy; but I wonder if there's some way to "open source" the teaching and practicing of DBT for people like me who otherwise couldn't afford it, and will *never* be able to afford it without the skills therein!

At this point I'm essentially self-medicating with cannabis most of my waking hours to cope with.. well, the shitshow that is my personal life with mental illness and the burning shitshow that is the world. I can't afford to do that long-term.

I truly, honestly believe DBT is a miracle but we need a way to share the knowledge as a matter of improving overall humanity.

Thoughts? Ideas? Slipped into a coma trying to finish this? I understand.

“Emotionally mature people are self-aware, attuned to their emotions, and know how to manage them … [they] continually work on various emotional and cognitive skills to help them cope with stressful or adverse situations and reach successful resolutions to life's challenges.”

I’m not sure if you ever heard this song over there, but it was a schoolyard hit back in the day here in the US. Now that I’m getting older, I find myself singing it whenever I wish for things that are outside of my control 🥲

I’m going to eventually make a few fingerless hand and arm warmers in my awareness ribbon colors, I’m going shopping for supplies this weekend and I’m going to go nuts. It’s gonna be epic because I won’t need to worry about my battle scars being visible and making me feel bad in public anymore. If anyone has any tips for a beginning crochet person let me know! #crochet #battlescars #copingskills

My favorite cooking method is "peel corner to vent, heat for 3 to 4 minutes”. #copingskills #selfcare😂

Wenn der Körper schön fertig ist, macht auch der Kopf weniger Blödsinn. Nach 2 solchen Abenden bin ich jetzt ein bisschen platt. Wenn noch jemand Füße in Größe 41 rumstehen hat, die er nicht mehr braucht, gerne her damit.

@RachelSpangler I missed this because I was taking a break from social, but I'm a big fan of asking "what?" or "Why would you say such a thing?" along with a lifted eyebrow and the death stare. (I'm a nurse so it's a practiced death stare) Either that or just walk away, without explanation- - I used these two with cousins/extended family growing up. And it's not argumentative to stand up for yourself.

Content Warnings are a nice idea, and using them when you have something you know is likely to make a good portion of the world feel confused or upset is good hygiene.

The flip side is that human beings also need to develop coping skills for content they may personally find distasteful and take some responsibility for their own experience and their own reactions.

Avoidance can make your general #anxiety worse, not better.

Anyone want to share mental health strategies for family members who aren't outright bigoted but just always gotta skirt the line or "just joshing ya" so that if you straight up call it out you look over sensitive or argumentative?

I think we often forget that not everyone was taught resiliency skills and as such they aren't able to tech them to their children.

The amount of times I hear "I never thought of it that way" from clients aged 20-62 in response to small things like speaking in "I statements" is heartbreaking because it means they only learned to place blame (either on themselves or others). It's okay to feel and express how you feel and for that to be no one's fault.

Normal everyday life stress makes me shake with anxiety. This is why Mr Sabine pays the bills. I can do it and I am completely competent in the workplace, but in a personal dilemma, I am shaking so badly it took me all day to think of a reasonable solution to a stressful situation. #untreatedanxiety #copingskills
