Today I went to the DBT therapist for the third time. She took a history on me. No one has ever done this before. It really made me realize what a mess my life has been. I feel there is no hope. My thinking is so messed up. It makes me think of what none of us should think of. I took the knife while driving home and gashed my abdomen. I want to do more. If I told you all that is messed up I'd have to go to psych social so I won't bother. terrics

Terrics, you at least have a while before Dr. Bob comes around, and perhaps he will be merciful.
If you think it would help to talk, please do.
(But you'd better get your wound tended to first)

terrics dear,
it hurts to be questioned like that. by someone you've not really seen or you don't know. it hurts to even think about the past. but instead dear, think about your progress. think about your future. think about everything you can and will accomplish. your past doesn't determine your future darling. i know it hurts to be confronted, in such a cold and clinical way, with your past, but try to think of your wonder. and your beauty. and how much people truly enjoy you. this is a way for that therapist to help you. and i think she will. think about that dear. and take care of yourself. please, take care of yourself. i'm thinking about you terrics. please let us know how you are doing. i'm sending warm thoughts your way.

Terrics,
I'm sorry that was so painful for you. It is all about getting information rather than offering support or validation. Hopefully you and your T will be able to move forward to something that feels better to you. In the meantime, I want to tell you that I am struck by your strength. You have survived a great deal. There is something within you that can and does survive this. Please hold onto that.((((terrics))))

I'm so sorry you have to feel this kind of pain. I remember during my intake that he made a brief list of the trauma I've had in chronological order -- it was a very sobering list, especially considering I knew there was so much more missing I hadn't even mentioned. It can be so overwhelming.
I hope from here it will broken down into manageable pieces and attainable goals. Until then, hang in there, and let your therapist know how much that affected you.

Take care.

Terrics--are you ok? Should you get medical attention?
I guess maybe my previous post was misguided. Maybe the history all at once was too much.
Sorry about my post.
Are you ok?

I goofed. I only processed the first line of you post about the history taking before responding--how idiotic of me, because the rest of your post was about how painful it was.
I'm sorry. Please disregard my first post!!!

I am worried about Terrics. She posted on the 4th, which is 3 days ago, that she stabbed herself in the abdomen.
I also feel badly about my posts.
But the main thing is that she hasn't posted again in so long.Anyone heard from her?

noa, I see you feeling bad here and just wanted to say, I wish you wouldn't. Even tho I haven't been around too long, I can say with confidence that people know you way better than to ever misconstrue this coming from you. But I know, that probably doesn't help. :- (

noa,
i haven't. i haven't noticed her name either. i don't email her, or i'd send one out ASAP. perhaps someone here does and can get ahold of her.
(((((noa)))))
don't feel bad about something you posted dear. everyone knows that we're trying to be helpful. i know, it doesn't help when someone says 'don't feel bad' but don't. if we all started to question ourselves like that, babble would be a pretty lonely place, wouldn't it?
i'm sure someone here has her email and will get in touch with her soon. i'm sure she's ok. i hope so anyway. cripes, now i'm worried... she'll show up dear, she'll show up...

Noa, you didn't post anything wrong.
I haven't heard from her either. Hopefully she called her therapist or pdoc?

noa,
I'm glad you noticed she has not posted again. I have been doing a lot of skimming lately, and I missed it. Now I'm worried, and I also don't know how to get in touch with her.I think your post was just fine. I'm sure it had nothing to do with her not posting, if that is what you are worried about.
Let's send out positive energy in hopes it finds dear terrics...

Thanks for posting terrics. I'm sorry about your mom, but I'm glad you are getting support. (I'll be doing the same for my mom in about a month after her hip surgery. Any tips, let me know :)
Take care and give us an update now and again when you are able.

Terrics, I'm really glad you're letting your psychiatrist and therapist help you weather this hard time. That's what they're there for.
While you're taking care of your mother, don't forget to take care of yourself as well.
