Moving And Getting More And More Anxious That Was An Easy Fix.

I'm so sorry you've not been accepted into a DBT group - it seems strange to me that they would tell you you don't fit in. I am getting a lot out of the group. I recently switched to a DBT therapist to try to incorporate the skills more quickly, but I'm having a lot of ambivalence about the switch...not sure it's too much DBT, or the therapist, or the change...I need to let it ferment for a bit I suppose.

I love VITALS. I have it hanging on the wall and use it especially for laundry and paying bills. I've also used it with the kids (although they're idea of how to "sweeten the pot" is sometimes out of proportion to the task they are trying to complete [e.g., buy me a video game if I finish my homework]).

I am very jealous of your move. I hope to eventually live by the ocean...but it seems a ways a way right now. At least I'm only about a 2 hour drive from the Atlantic so when things get really sketchy I can go hang out and listen to the waves.

Good luck!

When you're in Maine come stay with me. The ocean is across the street. Today is a better day. My daughter came up and we got everything out that she wanted and then we formed an assembly line-me taping boxes, her packing. The kitchen is all packed. I have one final trip to Goodwill and thats it.
My daughter brought her Dougie loving puppy Lab/bulldog mix. She and I were in the basement packing up my xmas ornaments that she wants. Harvey was coming and going and acting good. Well then he threw up one of Annie's little stuffed toy along with the legs of another stuffed toy. Over the course of three hours, she threw up two chicks, one still had a squeaker, a moose, a monkey, and a a dinosaur. Poor Harvey!! He was feeling blue so they left early. I hope she makes it to Boston before he pukes again.
