So I am in a high anxiety state - see old T for last time next week and then have to make appt with new T - dont know who that is yet... so am easily triggered and have been .

But i have had 2 small wins in the last 2 days and wanted to share the good vibes

I have been to chat before (only got as far as the lobby) and got really badly triggered - SI'd afterwards but being really stubborn.... ooops I mean persistant... but slow I waited a loooooong time and then went to a scheduled chat (DBT)- I was Sooooo anxious and panicky - but I did it! I stayed till the end and participated a bit - yeah for me!!!

SO when I saw another chat today (scheduled- general mental health with doc john) I went again!!! and this time I was less anxious!!! Yeah !! I guess I can feel safer in the ones where there is someone directing and monitoring the chat - whoo hoo - progress!!!!

Here's some for all
