<font color="green"> Well first off my pyschiatrist keeps insisitng that I should do DBT. I would have to stop seeing my current therapist during that time span (6 months or more) and just the thought of that is enough to make me feel panicky. My therapist challenged me to prove the pyschiatrist wrong and stop cutting, develop strong boundaries and I forget the other thing. I would do just about anything for her so everytime I pick up the knife or pins I think aobut that. My fear of losing her for even a short time span is greater than my need to cut right now. As the time goes by it does seem to be easier to use other coping skills.
She made me a short tape to listen to when I am stressed and that helps too. </font>
