There’s this thing in DBT called Opposite Action where you do the opposite of your emotion to try to change it. Today, I’m definitely trying to change the depression and anxiety that I was experiencing yesterday. I changed my sheets and I am washing (or rather drying now) my pillowcases. I made plans with a … Continue reading “Opposite Action”

Therapy was so helpful today
I am so glad I had therapy today. I talked to her about being in the hospital and how I basically just disassociated to survive being in there. She was glad I got out when I did because she agreed with me that I probably would have just gotten worse had I stayed in there. … Continue reading Therapy was so helpful today
Someone bring me coffee!
My Princess Leia mug is empty and I have no coffee. I’m so sad. Granted, she is mainly used for tea and I generally use different mugs for coffee, but the point remains. I need caffeine. My stepdad gets irritated when I mess with his coffee pot, mostly because I can never remember how much … Continue reading Someone bring me coffee!
I have the best providers…
…because they are so patient with me and don’t fire me even when I am a total idiot. I saw my dietican today and she is literally the nicest person. I really like her. My therapist is also a sweetheart. Even my psych is a nice person and genuinely cares about me, even when I … Continue reading I have the best providers…
Well, I slept like crap
I am so anxious about meeting with my dietican today. I am pretty sure my therapist and her have had some kind of conversation. Maybe not. I don’t freaking know. I gave them each others’ numbers and I’m almost certain they have releases for each other so… I just don’t know what kind of decision … Continue reading Well, I slept like crap
So I ate.
Trigger warning ⚠️ eating disorder ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️ I ate steak that was leftover from dinner last night. I kind of thought it would be okay. Oops. Purged that. I have been doing that a lot this week. It started with this tiny bit of ice cream last Friday, and it’s been pretty much every dinner since … Continue reading So I ate.
Questionable today…
I woke up tired. I hate that. I had dreams all night long because I’m really anxious about therapy today. Not only do I have to eat something triggering with her, I also have to talk to her about how I am afraid to call coaching now. I know one of her staff from a … Continue reading Questionable today…
Therapy was helpful today
I’m in a much better mood. We talked about things I could do to try to put things in my day. I decided I could volunteer at the local museum. I reached out today to them to see if they need any. I am trying. I want to try. At least in this moment. Meanwhile, … Continue reading Therapy was helpful today
Two days….
I have two days until I see my psych. I have no idea what she will want to do, if anything, to my meds. Last time was a total and complete disaster. Maybe I should ask her to leave them alone, and just work on my issues in therapy, but I’m not sure if it’s … Continue reading Two days….
Therapy again today…
I have therapy twice this week because things suck. I am just trying to hold onto the tiny bit of sanity I have left. Honestly. Yesterday and today have not been as bad as earlier in the week, so I guess that is a blessing. I was white knuckling it there for a bit. I’m … Continue reading Therapy again today…
