If not tell yourself you are safe. Do something for yourself that helps you to feel safe. Use some distractions like taking a walk or reading a fun book or color or play a game.
It is disturbing and scary, but you are safe now. As you walk thru this, tell yourself you have survived. You are grown up and you can keep yourself safe now.
Unfortunately this is part of healing.......  |
I do see a psychiatrist, once per month, and am trying to get in to see a psychologist regularly. Regular appointments with him cannot begin until June 30th. I'm hoping to get into DBT, as an hour/week doesn't offer much hope to me. Don't know if I'm over-dramatizing and am expecting too much...my psychiatrist's nurse was pretty frustrated with me yesterday.
Thank you for the post ~ offering understanding & experience.
