before I was diagnosed with schizophrenia, but while I had lots of symptoms, I did DBT individual and group, and some CBT-style exercises. I didn't find either helpful but I don't know if they would have been better if my symptoms were under control. now I am on good meds and symptoms are largely gone I don't really feel the need to SH (and I can control the SI thoughts) so CBT seems a bit pointless because it's used for tackling unhelpful behaviours.
