Choice.

It definitely matters that they chose to start.

Sex toys? Blasphemy! Killing yourself with prescriptions? Perfectly fine!

Did they choose to start gambling? Or did someone force them?

So, with my therapist’s guidance, I was able to do my own after she picked out things I specifically needed to work on. I ordered a DBT spiral workbook and learned from there, I can now apply these skills daily. It’s saved my relationships and life. And yes, you have to re-wire basically your entire brain and world view. I was able to get it done in about a year.

Yes, there would be a reason for the creepy.

Is your autism diagnosed or undiagnosed?

Yeah, it’s only a matter of time before they pull it. Disney must extract every penny.

Okay, fair enough my guy. Makes sense, yeah.

As a former borderline I love DBT.

Dated a salesman, can confirm. They’re crazy.

Yes. Mine changed because I changed it. I had BPD my entire life. My providers are certain I was born with it. I’ve always only ever known extremes and unstable relationships, until now- after a year of intense DBT treatment. I have changed my personality, my entire perspective on life, so yes. I hope the OP sees this. (I’m also bragging a bit, it only took a year to recover from a disorder I unknowingly had my entire life once diagnosed and was informed.) You have to rewire your entire fucking brain, but you can.

Guess I got lucky that I get it free with my family phone plan.
