You know you’re on the DBT unit when you find a box with Marsha’s face on it.

So very true. There are new changes happening for me; I am in the midst of disliking 2 things, and trying to accept where I am. It is highly internally uncomfortable, and really REALLY hurts. I think even my heart and head are trying to do something here. I know that when this passes, I will become stronger. Until then, I am stuck with this new discomfort that will not pass until ready. It would have been great if I had been taught about this as a child, but circumstances call on me to change things now. I guess the good thing is, that I want to keep growing, and I have self taught myself to; with the inadvertent help society has thrust upon me.

Sometimes I wonder whether people like myself should even bother considering a career in the medical profession. But then I remember that the world would never have expected a young lady smashing her head against the walls and floor of a psych ward seclusion room to become a world expert in treating highly suicidal individuals, but here we are.

me: I want to meet Marsha Linehan. I bet we'd be friends.

The invalidating environment contributes to emotion dysregulation by failing to teach the child to label and modulate arousal, to tolerate distress, or to trust his or her own emotional responses as valid interpretations of events. It also actively teaches the child to invalidate his or her own experiences by making it necessary for the child to scan the environment for cues about how to act and feel.

My prof had this quote in her slides today cuz we were talking about personality disorders. This is exactly how BPD feels. Maybe this will help people understand the severity and intensity of BPD. How terrifying and painful and scary and absolutely hopeless it feels. How bad it can get, how it’s not a joke, not to be brushed off. How much suffering it causes.
