Still got a bit to get organised tonight @Snowie but feeling much more manageable now. 

How has your day been?

[Snowie]

Thats good @Zoe7 

Had my second last individual DBT appt. today. Was hard.

There is so much I need to get out but unable to. I need a break from my mind.

I can only do that one way.

Hugs @Snowie ❤️❤️

Hearing you @Snowie but also hoping you can resist that avenue. It is the aftermath that you need to deal with also - as you would know but so incredibly hard to get through when you have had such a hard session. Do you have anything else in place for when these sessions finish - another psych to see or pdoc/gp that can help you through it all?

Hi @Snowie 

Coming up to the end of therapy – or a particular phase – can be challenging. I'm not sure exactly what's going on for you there this evening but I am just going to send you an email if you can check your inbox.

Thanks @Sans911 How has your day been?

@Zoe7I am hoping too. Its getting harder to control.

I still see my normal psych. They are meant to be putting another support in place for me but nothing has come of it yet.

[Zoe7]

I am glad to hear you still see your normal psych @Snowie - that does help a bit but I also know how valuable the sessions after DBT are. There was many times I really needed that outlet after a DBT session so I hope they put something into place for you quickly. What are your plans tonight? What can you do to distract yourself from those thoughts Hon?

[Snowie]

Not many plans for tonight @Zoe7 Only me and D home, rest have gone away.

[Zoe7]

That could be some nice bonding time for you both @Snowie Make the most of the peace and quiet too whilst you can.

Thats if she gets off her phone @Zoe7 !!
