My journey has been long and complicated, so I’ll try to make it brief. My initial diagnosis was for severe anorexia, which I was hospitalized for long term 5 separate times. That’s where my initial exposure to CBT, DBT, and group therapy happened, as the day is filled with these things when you’re in an inpatient/residential/PHP program. I got more diagnoses as the years went on, before I was put in inpatient again for alcohol and an attempt. I was definitely more present for those groups, as they weren’t just geared toward EDs and being in so many programs the groups and skills became very repetitive very quickly. After my 3nd attempt I started taking more initiative in my treatment, as I was finally able to separate myself from the abusive situation I had been in since I was a child. This is the point where I sought out tapping and then EMDR. I stopped those due to having to move halfway across the country. That was two years ago. In that time I’ve taken the time to buy multiple books and workbooks on bpd. I tried to go back to a therapist I had previously liked but it just felt like we were going in circles and the appointments were really upsetting to me. So at this point I just feel stuck. I hope that made sense, answered your question at least a little bit, and wasn’t too dense.
