> Well, I may be biased. But I think DBT would be helpful to *anyone*. I think it should be taught in schools. The skills taught in DBT have universal applicability.

If the majority of the group were on one level of functioning, and you are on another, it might lead to a less than ideal situation.I agree with what you are saying about groups. The other thing is that I feel burned by conventional (and unconventional) wisdom. I got aerobic exercise, I went to yoga, I went to therapy, I took meds, I took fish oil, I took vitamins, I tried to get out every day, .... and my functioning got poorer and poorer and my suicidal ideation got worse and worse. I'm tired of wasting time. I want something that's going to work.
Today is a bad day. I feel like a zombie.
