I think that we can get "used to" the feelings and learn to interpret them less tragically. Sort of like, everything is relative - we just have to learn that our base feelings are extreme (extreme is NORMAL for us). Then we have to learn to exist in the world even though our feelings are extreme.

No, I don't think that DBT/CBT will make the feelings go away. But it can make it so that coping with the feelings is just part of life.

Personally, I don't think that meds will "fix" this. Meds can help moderate how extreme the feelings are (and therefore make them easier to deal with). I'm sure hoping that therapy can "fix" it.
