I don't know whereabouts you live, but for some people with longstanding complex issues, especially BPD, therapeutic communities can be really useful. They can come as day patient or inpatient settings. They are not helpful for everyone though as they often come with some degree of commitment not to self harm, and with very serious self harm that can be of real concern to the other members of the therapeutic community (often there needs to be some stability before they will consider admission due to how unsettling that kind of intensive therapy can be). It might be worth talking about with your team, though, as they can be pretty effective. If it's an option, perhaps your team can help you slowly prepare for that kind of treatment. Alternatively, as you know, DBT can be very helpful but I've never had that so can't be of much help there.
