Gay is not what we are, Gay is not who we are, Being Gay is just one simple part of us.: An Overview of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy in the Treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder

Welcome

Greetings Everyone!!!
I am starting this blog as a place for Gay men and women to come and read information about a variety of topics and issues. If you would like to be a guest author on my blog, please email me at CarlDinsmore@yahoo.com and tell me why you would like to post something on my blog. This is also a way for people in Cincinnati to get linked to social organizations that maybe they did not know existed. I will work hard on placing all sorts of information on the site, regarding Books, Medical updates, Causes that I deelpy care about, Gay vacation destinations, Gay Sports, and much, much more. Its also just a venue for you to share comments on postings, or share with me a cause or topic I could add to my site.
Last year was a very tough year for me, as I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, which is a form of depression mainly diagnosed in women, but more and more men are being diagnosed with this illness. So, look for information regarding borderline on the blog. Finally having a diagnosis regarding my depression was life saving. Coming through that crisis is what gave me the idea to create this blog.
But my number one goal for this site is the fact that it is time for unity in the gay community. Its time to STOP tearing each other down, but rather to build each other up. We are not all alike. We are different and these differences are what makes our world such a wonderful place to live. Please enjoy the site, and lets unite to make our world the best place it can be.

An Overview of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy in the Treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder

I have stated in several posts before that last year, during a hospitalization for a suicide attempt, I was finally diagnosed with Borderline Peronality Disorder.

The latest treatment that is used in working with BPD is called Dialectical Behavior Therapy. By clicking on the title of this post you will be taken to a website that talks about DBT.

If you or a loved one has BPD, or you suspect someone may have BPD I highly recommend that you use this site to get all the information you can about this treatment.

For more information on Borderline Personality Disorder please visit http://www.borderlinepersonalitydisorder.com/FAQ.shtml. This is the National Educational Alliance For Borderline Personality Disorder.

There is hope.
