ok been going for a few weeks and have at least a few commenters and some good updooting. If you'd like to get more involved and get your name on the Contributors Page here's some ideas:

Help me with the content

  • Help make better writeups for the skills. If you've done CBT / DBT before and there was a skill you were particularly good at or had success with in a group teachback exercise, please share! It's not a dealbreaker but I am trying to keep the reading level low to keep things more accessible. In school I was taught to write patient education material at about a fifth grade reading level because it's the US average. It also helps people whose first language is not English.

  • Help me make or find good creative commons content, especially elsewhere in fedi like peertube. I'm also absolutely excited to see any memes or shitposts anybody wants to share. Personally I do a lot of my own learning through shitposting and consider it a form of creative art!

Help me with the community

  • Share the FUCK outta everything. Crosspost anything you want. This is dbzer0, download a car.

  • This isn't big enough that I really need mods yet, but if I'm actually successful at this I probably will, so lmk if you're interested.

Help me with the tech stuff

  • I recently made a Mood-Log PWA to accompany this project that will output your week as a series of colored squares that you can share here (group discussion of mood logging is a common but optional part of mental health support groups). There's also a longer form it can spit out that you could text or email to your therapist or psychiatrist or just paste into a markdown note app. That said I kinda vibes-coded most of this with the help of an llm and my main security feature is storing all of your data completely locally. I would actually really love someone to review it and make sure I actually did a good enough job or maybe clean up the code a little.

  • The bot didn't post on sunday and idk why or whether or not it will this sunday. If you know why or have a better idea for Siggy, lmk.

Next week is Distress Tolerance so stay tuned!

uuuuuuh. I'll probably think of other stuff after I post this. But thanks for reading!

Have you done DBT interpersonal effectiveness skills yet? I have a particular component of the IE worksheet/skills series that I love and always share with clients when relevant

nope, but even if I had my long term plan is a complete rotating cycle.
