And you are definitely not pathetic - because if you are then that makes me pathetic too and I am practising this postive talk
- in fact I think you were really brave to share this.
I don't have a diagnosis, T and I just concentrate on symptoms (that is when I am actually able to escape my dragon costume and talk to him) - but I have a DBT book and that does have some helpful stuff in there about dealing with emotions - not sure if you have come across it - will try and find it and post the title.
I think the very best way of dealing with emotions is to talk about them, I know for me when I am having a tough time, although T has asked me to call - I can't because I have a phone phobia type thing - but I do write and send T e-mails and it does help me to express it rather than hold it in.
Take care HC -
