"CAMHS & DBT saved me"

I started attending CAMHS when I was 16, I was in a very dark place mentally, struggling with anxiety, depressive episodes, anger outbursts and self-harm. While attending CAMHS I was then diagnosed with Disruptive Mood Disregulation Disorder and very luckily got into Dialectical Behavioural Therapy through Aisling who I was also seeing on a weekly basis. DBT and Aisling changed my life in so many ways, DBT has given me life-long skills that I can use to help manage my BPD/EUPD that I have since been diagnosed with. I truly cannot praise Aisling as a service provider enough, she is so deeply understanding and empathic, while also remaining non-judgmental at all times, and she seen me at my absolute worst!! I without a doubt wouldn't be where I am today without the combination of DBT and Aisling! DBT is such a vital service for the North-West, as it is the most effective therapy and treatment for BPD/EUPD and it is so so beneficial. I am now almost 24, I am still on my journey with wellbeing but I am 100% a million times better off now thanks to my experience with DBT and Aisling at CAMHS. I cannot thank Aisling enough for all her amazing help and support and I'll forever be grateful for the experience I had with her!
