Hi I’m Colleen. Right to the problem….I’m in therapy, have been in and out for 20 + years. This time it is helping more, I’m doing Dialtecial Behavior Therapy, in fact have to go todday. I have serrious anxiety issues, having a major attack at the moment. My first response is to injure when I’m feeling this way, its what I want to do although it’s relief only lasts for s short time. i’m on meds but I feel like I’m being tortured by the panic…I don’t know why I’m even writing, I thught this would help but its not.
Hi Colleen. My name is Ashley. I’m 19 and starting DBT next week. I have a lot of suppressed anxiety and am very fearful of what these upcoming sessions could reveal. I used to S.I. and still do from time to time (definitely not as often as a few years age). I feel the hopelessness in your writing. I sometimes feel like that throughout the day. Especially when everyone else still expects me to stay as upbeat as the think I am. I would love to keep in contact with you as you go through therapy. I am much younger than you, but I think that we can still offer each encouragement and understanding. My email is ashcan92@aol.com. I promise I will respond whenever you write me.
