So I saw my pdoc and she extended my leave 2 weeks, and extended IOP one day, which may not have been helpful but I did realize that all of the feedback I gave others was stuff that I need to do. So I guess.

So followup care is a DBT refresher class and then a skills group....I had a DBT class after first IOP which was minimally helpful. I have the DBT workbook and have been working with that, but my frustration is that I want some specific assistance with specific issues and can't find a way to get it. My T is not very familiar with DBT, so that's a bust. I feel like the skills group will also be a bust, and just generally am tired of groups. ETA: (Oh, yeah, the class is 500 bucks (pricey for a 'refresher', it cost next to nothing last time; I am on disability with out top up from my employer because my accruals are all used up; and before I was on disability, it was a stretch for my meds and therapy. And new deductible year.)

Things like, when someone tells you should be doing XYZ, which you are doing and have proven, and how disappointed and frustrated they are (which is not really relevant nor appropriate). How to respond to that?

When you are trying to get your work done and someone keep interrupting you to ask if you did the things that she wants you to do, and you have, only now you can't get anything done, because of the interruptions. (I did actually ask and was told that she was not involved enough in my projects, which certainly came from person above). At one point, she kept barraging me with questions, that I finally said, I can stay and talk about this, but will not be doing any of my other work; which would she prefer I would do? Immediately, she was like, oh, yeah, go ahead.

Actually, I am thinking that if this stuff keeps up, I will start to look for new work.
