so i've been meaning to post a proper update for a while now.. but i can't right now. but i need some advice.. so i am posting this quickly and then i'll try to update properly tonight.

so i have just started at tafe and my rehab worker linked me in with the disability support services. i had an appointment with the lady who looks after mental health. she asked about what had been going on and everything like that. she also said if i wanted i could see someone in the counselling unit too.

now my first reaction is no, i already have a DBT T and a private psych.

but i've been thinking and whenever I talk to my DBT T we have to follow the structure thing (meaning life threatening behaviours then self harm then therapy interfering behaviours then life interfering behaviours or something like that) which mean that all we talk about are the first 2 or 3. meaning we don't actually really talk about my thoughts/feelings/issues that are causing these things. and even if i know something is going to become a problem we don't get the time to talk about it before it's a huge issue, even though some things i feel like if we had talked about them before they got huge then they wouldn't have got huge.

and with my private psych i only see her every two weeks and a lot of that time is talking about things that are stopping me attending DBT or being truthful in DBT.

so now i'm thinking maybe having someone to talk to about the issues before they turn into huge problems might help.. but i don't want to seem too needy and attention seeking because there are other people who don't have the support that i do who need to talk to the counsellors..

so now i'm stuck.

any suggestions/ideas/anything would be good!

thanks!
