Thanks Eska, it’s nice to know I’m not the only one. I think I’m struggling with dbt because my moods don’t ‘react’ as extremely to outside stuff as everyone else’s in the group (primary diagnosis is bipolar) and my self harm is more compulsive than impulsive so I struggle to see how a lot of the ‘skills’ can be applied to my situation. And tbh I find the group quite patronising- stickers and clapping etc. I do think my mood is currently on the low side- poor concentration, no motivation (even for showering or eating), poor sleep, feeling hopeless etc and it has been for the last two or three weeks. My mission for today though is to have a shower, do a food shop and clean the kitchen (cos I’ve not touched it in two weeks). But so far it’s nearly 3.30 and I’m in the same clothes as yesterday and the day before, that I slept in and sat outside having coffee and a cigarette.
