It sounds like you are trying so hard!! I hope that things can get easier for you soon.
Please consider reading "Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder". You are very aware of *what* is going on with you, and this book could help you to understand *why*. Based on your posts, I don't think you would find it too hard to get through (but do feel free to skim the sections that feel over your head). Your local library isn't likely to have the book, but if you ask, they could get it through InterLibrary Loan for you.
The book explains things like why attendance is so important to DBT: The therapy can't help you if you aren't there. That's why they take such a hard line with it. I found that when I understood better *why* they were saying particular things that I fought less.
Keep in touch here, I'd like to know how things are going for you.
