Thanks, Poet. Now it's four days. I slept a little better last night, not sure why exactly. Not to look a gift horse in the mouth or anything!
Thanks for the thoughts about my therapist. I am trying to practice the DBT skill of "Radical Acceptance." I'm not in DBT therapy but am taking an introductory class, and this skill has been most helpful. In case you're not familiar with it, the skill is about an acceptance that comes from deep within. It says there is a road with a fork in it, and we must keep turning our mind from the "rejecting reality" road and toward the path of acceptance. There is a saying that goes with it that "Acceptance is the only way out of hell."
I am trying to turn my mind, over and over, toward acceptance.
