I find it really hard @Snowie - I talked to my GP about it yesterday and explained how anxious it makes me. It is not understanding it - that is easy - it is being amongst so many people. I don't like talking and the pressure to share even small things is too much for me - I have already talked to the psychologist and pdoc briefly about how hard I am finding it but I don't think they 'get it' - so may need to have that conversation again. If I can't 'settle' a bit more then I am going to continue to have several days of stress around DBT and that is really not helping me.

I know DBT is something you have wanted to do so I hope your experience is a good one for you. I never thought about it until my pdoc suggested it and then I thought I would have much longer to get used to the idea (was told there was at least a 10 week waiting list) but my pdoc pushed for me to take the next available place and apparently she has some influence over who gets in!!! I did not feel ready to do it but here I am and I am trying to make it work... it is just really hard for me!
