I forget if this was mentioned but there are ideas for dealing with emotional distress at dbtselfhelp.org.
You do have your own ways for addressing the pain. Remember that you don't need to get through 18 days right now. You just need to hang in there for THIS day, THIS hour, THIS minute.
You can do it! Know that many here are pulling for you.

Thanks for the link and thanks for the support. My pdoc wants me to do DBT. I really really don't. I hate the idea of group therapy, I don't have BPD, and the whole thing just looks cheesy to me. Maybe that's because as a kid I was laughed at for having emotions and talking about emotional expression is weird to me. So maybe feeling like it is cheesy is just a symptom of a bigger problem I need to work on. I don't know. I'm sure he'll try to push me into doing it again by getting my T to talk with me excessively about it.
