Hey @litgym, I can see how tough things are for you right now. ❤️   It might be helpful to remember that recovery is not a straight line, there are so many ups and downs. That doesn’t mean you have gotten worse, it means you are in a different stage of recovery, even though it might be hard to see that right now.   ... View more

Nothing wrong with being sensitive @DruidChild - I'm the same. It's so hard being dismissed by professionals, isn't it? Things are hard enough already without having that additional burden added.   I can see how that particular concept of "letting go" may not be possible at this stage, and it's totally okay if you can't do it. Living with that constant fear must be so hard, and given the experiences that you have talked about, it's totally understandable to be thinking "what did you do to me" when interacting with others. I can't imagine the pain, I just hope that you get some relief.   Your statement "I would trade my 'strength' and empathy for a healthy mind, teeth that aren't decaying, and friends, in a heartbeat" is something I can relate to, even the decaying teeth part. I too struggle with loneliness and missing friends from school who I've lost contact with. I don't know if it helps, but just know you're not alone.   I'm just so proud of you for sticking with the DBT, that shows how strong you are. I hope you never forget that. ... View more

Hey @DruidChild, I think bringing up the anger with your psychologist is a very good idea. I'm sorry you're feeling so down. :(   Personally, I think that was very unprofessional of that psychologist to shift the blame onto you for something that was not your fault. I'm really sorry that you've had that experience. Have you been able to discuss this with your current psychologis, or another professional? ... View more

Hi @litgym, just wanted to thank you for all the awesome support you have been giving others today! I hope you know that you are deserving of the same love that you give others. You are doing so well, and your strength and resilience is really inspiring!   Just remember that if you feel unsafe at anytime during the night, please remember to tell someone how you are feeling, including KHL, and in an emergency please remember to call 000 straight away.   I hope you have a good sleep. ...

@litgym I'm really sorry you're having these unhelpful thoughts. :( I would really encourage you to try some self compassion, and to take another look at your 1000 Positives thread, even if some of the things in there are hard to believe right now.   I think it would be a really good idea for you to try this challenge if you're up for it. Look forward to seeing what you come up with! ... View more

Hey @BunnyWalks, relationships are not an easy thing to deal with, that's for sure. Ultimately, you know yourself best, and whatever decision you make will be the right one. There are a couple of RO factsheets you might be interested in having a look at, managing the pressures of a relationship, and choosing to have a relationship.   Please let us know how you get on. ...

@litgym If you're feeling unsafe, I think it would be a good idea to talk to your teacher again. It's a horrible process to go through but it really is worth it in the end. ... View more

@litgym I understand completely, emergency is a horrible place to be. But it's so important that you stay safe, as you're worth it. Would you consider giving Suicide Call Back Service a call, on 1300 659 467, or online? ... View more
