  3. Dialectical Behavior Therapy #DBT is a godsend for folks with #PersonalityDisorders, and I really think just about anyone - #MentallyIll 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 feeling too ashamed to say so.

    I realize people need to be compensated for their pioneering work in #behavioraltherapy 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! Chronic #poverty shouldn't be a nearly insurmountable obstacle to effective treatment whether it be mental health or otherwise.

    At this point I'm essentially #SelfMedicating with #cannabis most of my waking hours to cope with.. well, the shitshow that is my personal life with #MentalIllness 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.

    EDIT: Made slightly more long-winded and repetitive, also sprinkled more hashtags to hopefully increase reach.
