I’m sorry you’ve been through so much. I can’t imagine the wisdom you’ve gained. It’s been a tough road for you.

There are so many coping skills to learn on your own. You can do DBT therapy on YouTube now. The book is in bookstores.

Stay and talk a bit from time to time. I’m sure others can get some help from the road you travelled.
