I am med resistant myself.

How am I coping? I don't know that I am. My T tells me I'm doing really well, but I don't feel it. Really, I'm just trying to incorporate things I learned in DBT in regards to self soothing, distraction, emotional regulation, and trying to keep up with good self care...which has been the most difficult part of the whole thing. It's easy for me to play cell phone video games or shop for hours on end to avoid the ways I am feeling, but it is more difficult to get up, brush my teeth, brush my hair, feed my body, sleep....etc....etc.

If it weren't for the fact I had to keep things together so I could continue to work and keep a roof over my head, I don't think I'd be doing as well. Sometimes I feel like I really don't care anymore....and this really scares me.
