The fatty is eating cake for breakfast.

It's true. I never really knew if there was deep scientifically provable stuff but back in my locked unit rounds day, we had maximum staff on what we called 'full moon nights'.

Tangential, but it also coincided with a large influx of people attempting to hire legal representation where I did legal assistant work. Especially SA cases specifically

DBT really is designed in a way that seems like it's intended to speak down to you.

I'm glad to know that it's not just me, because I felt like maybe I was just being an asshole at the time. The acronyms in particular sounded like nails on a chalkboard every time I heard them, and I ended up making my own "worksheets" on notebook paper because the ones given out in the course seemed like they were written for children. It's not exactly helpful when something's making you feel like a form of therapy is bullshit in spite of decent evidence in favor of its efficacy. Dizzy definitely has a good point, though. DBT is usually a standardized course, and it's a hell of a lot worse if someone more like Zoey doesn't understand what they're being taught than it is for someone else to feel like the acronyms are too cutesy, or like the supplemental materials are condescending.

In that context...I mean, if you don't want to improve your own socially harmful, self-destructive behavior enough to get past being annoyed with the way that it's taught, then you're not going to benefit from it anyway. It's meant for people whose symptoms make it harder to do the kind of reframing needed for CBT to work, so putting some of it into practice already means doing the opposite of what every fiber of your being is screaming that you  should do ("opposite action" is literally one of the skills taught). That's not exactly easy to do, and you have to put in a lot of fucking work before you ever start seeing improvement. Being willing to put in the bare minimum and not leave just because you feel talked down to probably serves an unintentional gatekeeping function.

And, as an added bonus, it seems like it helped you find a more effective treatment modality. It's better to focus on underlying causes for behavior than on the behavior itself, if you've got the perspective to do that already rather than needing to build it from the ground up. I'm really, sincerely glad that you were able to find something that works for you and, like Dizzy, hope that Zoey has, too. Someone that far down in the pit is fighting a particularly unbalanced uphill battle, but they do win every now and then. Very rarely, but it does happen.

Veganism isn't really sustainable on a budget longterm. You can shore up the lack of protein easily enough from legumes, seeds, etc, but B12, calcium, iron, and iodine are also all primarily consumed in animal form. If you're poor, no chance you'll stumble into a balanced diet with such strict guidelines.
Plus, it would be fucking miserable if she could moralfag to the internet with "I'm vegan" all the time.

People who make lifestyle choices their personality will never not be annoying. Unless you're a watamelon enjoyer, then you're based.

True, but they keep repeating it because you respond every time. I thought you read my last post to you. It would be good to start build your sense of self a little so you don't get upset when someone says something about you dont like or that you don't get set off

Wjen somone ttypes liik u, chjyaat!!

Your typing style isn't your personality or what makes you, you. I know you probably don't believe me when I say this, but most people here really only want you to do well for yourself. You even costed @Sperg Spectating some good money because he believed you were going to get on top of your disorders and get them under control.

Be well, Zoey.
