I've heard that italk are sometimes a bit slow in setting things up, so be prepared for a short delay - use it to read some of those books and use the work-based counselling to clarify your thoughts a bit
Well done for seeking help, and good luck
At the moment I'm in a middle of a 15 session coping skills group based around mindfulness set on a DBT biosocial model. Technical stuff aside this does seem to be the best course of treatment so far, but the old black dog is always nipping at me ankles. For me it will be change what I can, accept what I can't, learn from the past, enjoy the now and look forward to the future. I cant change what or whom I am but I can learn to cope in a more positive way. Hard work and along slog for me, always and happy to chat and support, just give me a shout

OP: I've been where you are. Personally, I didn't get on with the drug method of treatment, I found it just disguised the problems, rather than removed them.
I had great success with CBT, to the extent that four years on, when I feel the triggers happening, I can run it through again by myself and head the problem off at the pass.
But... everyone is different, and I'll never say what works for me is the only way to do it. But do it you can, and there are plenty of people around to help.
