Hi and
I was really nervous at first too, but everyone has been very nice. I find using the tools very helpful. There are several members who use DBT here too.
I agree that it can be very difficult to recover from the shame. Many of the CBT techniques taught here have helped me to release my shame. It's slow, but it works. I hope you can do the same.
I'm glad your here. I guess I just wanted to say hi. It is a safe place. I look forward to your next posting and learning more about you!
