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.
begging for anyone to come up with treatment modalities that don’t seem worse than dying ffs
If you get someone who knows what they’re doing, they’ll help you identity and face small rejections that are already happening to you first. For me, I couldn’t tell the difference between small and large rejections because they all felt similarly devastating. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is good for that. It’s all small steps.
i’ve either never had that or whatever is wrong with
mesociety is too much for medical science to handle. plus intake retraumatizes me every time soI 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.
is “DBT Training Manual” the name of the book? I want to look for it on libgen
“DBT Skills Training Manual” by Marsha Linehan. Looks like it’s on there!
Thanks! I downloaded it
my brain: “Dick and Ball Torture”
