my therapist told me to quit DU
 Advertisements [?]also.....as I was in the hospital for a few weeks.....I missed two DBT groups, I then missed one because my masshealth ride never showed......out of my control......missed last week, because I went on vaca ( which sucked) but I had told her about that absence months ago.....I am now on probation, must do extra work and write an apology to the DBT group for my absensee.......If I don't they won't treat me at all.....I was told when I joined DBT I could quit at anytime......when I tried to quit they told me they would not treat me at all if I didn't partake......

I agree...but the DUmmie won't listen to the shrink and will instead listen to other DUmmies who will tell her to drop her Doc...accuse the Shrink of working for Teh Rove and cite all kinds of bullshit claiming this is just more "proof" that we need socialized medicine.

14. Oh, mine said that too ... 
 
Said that DU makes me too angry.

Therapists aren't all-knowing.

I explained that *DU* does not making me angry. Stupid people make me angry, and I refuse to sit here in my chair in my apartment and ignore that stupid people are running this country.

"You should work on yourself a little more."

What does that even mean?

Screw the therapist (not literally).

I get "pissed" a lot when I'm reading DU, and I get into it with people who pull my triggers, but they are real people with real concerns, and they represent the real world. If it weren't for DU, I'd either be willfully ignorant or just pent up with an ill-defined rage and no outlet.

I had no idea what DBT group was so I looked it up.....
An Overview of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy in the Treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

by Barry Kiehn and Michaela Swales

Patients showing the features of Borderline Personality Disorder as defined in DSM-IV are notoriously difficult to treat (Linehan 1993a). They are difficult to keep in therapy, frequently fail to respond to our therapeutic efforts and make considerable demands on the emotional resources of the therapist, particular when suicidal and parasuicidal behaviours are prominent.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy is an innovative method of treatment that has been developed specifically to treat this difficult group of patients in a way which is optimistic and which preserves the morale of the therapist.

The technique has been devised by Marsha Linehan at the University of Washington in Seattle and its effectiveness has been demonstrated in a controlled study, the results of which will be summarised later in this paper.

BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy is based on a bio-social theory of borderline personality disorder. Linehan hypothesises that the disorder is a consequence of an emotionally vulnerable individual growing up within a particular set of environmental circumstances which she refers to as the 'Invalidating Environment'.

An 'emotionally vulnerable' person in this sense is someone whose autonomic nervous system reacts excessively to relatively low levels of stress and takes longer than normal to return to baseline once the stress is removed. It is proposed that this is the consequence of a biological diathesis.

(much much much more at link) http://priory.com/dbt.htm

What this says is that they are a special group designed to keep their therapists from killing them or committing suicide because they are so insane and needy.

It's not punishment ya dumbass, it's called a "contract", and your fellow DUmmy violated it. Clients like this have to come to the realization that behavior has consequences, and the world does not stop and start at their whim. By validating their behavior, you're part of the problem by feeding into their neurosis.

Which is exactly why this person's therapist told them to stay the **** away from you.

I think its time for a new therapist....again.  I got put on "probation" ****ing probation.....for missing too many sessions....appareantly being in the hospital, almost dying, and horrible infections are not reason enough to miss. At one point my rash was so bad I couldn't put any clothes on without pain, and had to lie in bed naked....she says I should have found a way to make it. Today I went, despite horrible allergies ( brought an entire box of Kleenex) and back pain that makes it hard to breathe ( because of the rash and how sensitve it has made my skin, I still can not wear a bra and it is causing major problems for my back) I"m just so pissed, if anyone should understand illness, it should be a doctor, and, in my opinion, especially a therapist whom I talk to all the time about my ailments and how they effect me. Am I over reacting....or is it time for a new tdoc?

I'm changing docs.  I've mentioned in the past problems with my pdoc....so that is very positive, to be getting a new one, and one closer to home at that.

But I am also switching therapist....a big step as I really liked her. But I missed two appts, one because I didn't have a ride, and one because my agoraphobia was really bad....she called and said she understood but its all about the money....which is bullshit because I cancel like an hour before so mass health still pays her....just hit me the wrong way....

so my new doc sounds really nice, I talked to her on the phone....wish me luck and send good vibes!

"Rising Phoenix", based on what a brief perusal of its DU postings, REALLY needs to take a break from the internet. They are one ****ed up camper.

I'm not gonna link to the posts, because they frequently discuss things that should never be discussed outside a family or medical situation.

Predictably the other member of the hive just further encourage the destructive behaviour.

Sitting in ones basement, talking about just how ****ed up their life with a bunch of other crackpots, while clearly being unable to correctly follow their medication procedure (either by over or under use) is plain idiotic. Its doctor was right on the money when they told them to not go there, and it would do really well to listen to that doctor not the other substance abusing, whackjobs that reside at DU.

     I have often wondered how many DUmmies are in therapy. Although I would never criticize someone making an effort to improve themselves, I will criticize someone who thinks they know better than a trained professional, and who accepts the counsel of other depressed and psychotic people.

     We have seen DUmmies encourage each other to divorce spouses on political grounds. We have seen them urge each other to disown family members based on politics. Now, the same people are dispensing mental health advice. These people deserve one another, but none of us in the real world deserve them.

     DUmmies, stay away from me, my family, and my friends. You are insane.

I checked out DU.

After about an hour of reading there, I came to the conclusion that most of them are in need of some sort mental health counseling.
