Hi i've been assessed as having elements of Borderline Personality Disorder and have been put in a mentalisation group - the trouble is I am pretty sure I already do mentalise (assessing thoughts and feelings both of yourself and others, being aware of uncertainty, not making assumptions etc) and it hasn't really helped me in the past with my anxiety...I just end up thinking of all the different possibilities and accept I don't know and still feel terrified.
Not sure what to do as my medication seems to have stopped working and the though of attending 10 more hour and a half sessions where we sit and discuss thinking about thinking makes me very disheartened as I already do this too much.
Has anyone else done mentalisation and found it helpful?
