You guys make me smile. I love this thread.

Here is my WISE MIND worksheet. I like it because it is simple and quick to assess an issue. Does y ours look similar? DBT WISE MIND What is my goal? Question I am exploring: What are the facts? What do I feel about this question? What are my emotions? What does my body sense about this...

I'm right there with you! Sometimes it seems like the anguish, the pain and the loneliness is never-ending. Since we have one another, we know we have a great support to help that hopelessness end. Since most of us suffer from sleeplessness, if the hopelessness happens and you, any of you need...

You ladies are wonderful. I wish I had friends here. It's so difficult here because I am in pain so much and i have a list of "I cants"...cooking being one of them. On the up side, I fit into my tiny jeans now! Down side, I don't socialize so meeting guys is kinda outta the question for me...

Thank you, Junebug!

Last night the thoughts came back. they just co me, I don't know why or how. It had to do with anger and my T. That's not important. What is important is HOW I dealt with it. I did some focused breathing, did two worksheets on SI, and journaled. I recognized I was feeling angry, tired, in...

Hi Vee- I am isolating for many reasons. The main one is I hate explaining myself. I look "normal" and without. Disability and yet I do not have full function of my arm after an MVA so when I tell people why I cannot hold something they stare with despise or at least I take it that way. I am...

You KNOW you have PTSD when you remember twenty times in one day to drive to the pharmacy to pick up your psych meds, then you come home, was your face, brush your teeth (yes I remembered to floss), get undressed, look n the counter for your meds and go oh €#^%! I forgot to drive to the...

SO FUNNY! I told my T today I had a real nasty argument in my head with him the oth day and I was too much of a lady to tell him what I said to him. :)

Hi KP-another MVA victim. I feel the exact same way. Although, I have taken pills and ended up in the ER twice now. I thought I might be the only MVA PTSD online. My ex husband and my daughter are very concerned. My daughter is speaking to my T tonight. I don't know how to reassure them...

Do you have any suggestions for someone like myself who does not have any support system set up?

With Anthony's okay, I would like us all to put some websites together in case of an emergency. Since we are from all over the world it would be nice to have a listing for people to use as a resource of where they can call in case of an emergency or worksheets, like DBT that they can do to...

I could not have done it without your support, Anthony. I told my T how brutally honest you are with everyone and you don't let us have a pity party. He said he was going to check out the site. He said it sounded great!

I am a perpetual volunteer I love being a mommy I have never done drugs I don't drink alcohol or smoke anything I love helping others I hate seeing any injustice Sometimes I feel like Scarlett O'Hara My most cherished belongings are family heirlooms

I saw my T today and told him about this site. I said thee is an awesome thread where I posted that I hate him and he laughed and said that was good. He said my anger is positive. I was going to give up therapy and he said I always lush people out of my life when things get difficult and this...

ABSOLUTELY!!! So funny. And FYI, I think you forgot to turn the hose off. :)

Thank you Shadowchaser for saying you shake like a leaf. I do that too. It takes such concentration and energy to keep from doing that and when I feel it coming on I have my little techniques of clasping my hands together and putting all the energy there or if I am sitting I ill sit very...

Tired Optimistic, a little Hopeful, a little

Hi. I moved to NC and soon after was in an MVA causing my PTSD. I would enjoy chatting with both of you.

Junebug, you ar correct. I am not comfortable. I acquired my disability in an MVA and am still adjusting to it. We have not becme friends yet.

You are at least a few steps ahead of me...I don't give people a chance. I stay at home about 18 hours a day and don't even try to socialize. It freaks me out too much. I used to be the social butterfly too. Maybe the PTSD is trying to teach me to be patient with myself and like myself a bit.

Shadow, I don't date either because I am ashamed of the PTSD and my physical disability. For some reason when i speak it is like my whole life comes poring out and it's like you either take me or leave me but this is me...all of me. Maybe I give people PTSD just by listening to my PTSD garbage.

Bloom-have you gone through all of the modules of DBT? Do you work with a DBT T? My T is a DBT doc and for the mt part he is pretty good. This week I am not on great terms with him but that will change. Do you have a favorite part of DBT? I like wise mind exercises. They help me a lot.
