They have DBT and anxiety workbooks books cheap. I'm not a "reader". Getting the book T recommends seems like a waste because Idk how long I'm staying with her. I'm not convinced I have anxiety. I'm going to talk to my husband about getting it.
I don't feel I have a lot of rules/ no's. Please understand that I say what I say out of caring. I take everything everyone says out of kindness and caring, I'd rather Someone go "Hey, L your ****ing up x,y and z." than just going "maybe look at x,y,z."
Make that call first thing tomorrow, ok? I really don't want to call about a stupid sensation that's bugging me, that she already knows about. I think it's akathisia. I may call the med line (they don't respond right away)

Why does it matter that he stays up all night ? Your either arguing or not speaking as you have nothing to say.. Do you really want to work on your relationship right now?? Do you have energy for that ?
Is there something you wish your husband would do or say? Is he stuck in his own depression ?
Although its great to have a solid support system it truly boils down to helping ourselves, we hold the key to our own happiness.
DBT and anxiety workbooks are not vast amount of reading , it’s basically a discussion about one aspect at a time then you physically fill in the blanks, DBT is all about learning to control your actions and reactions.
A book your T feels might help you?!! you now aren’t sure you will continue to see her ? Do you have options ? Other T’s to see? Youve always said it’s hard to find one. So why quit seeing her ? You haven’t been with her long. Just a heads up I have yet to met anyone with a mental illness that doesn’t struggle with anxiety. Have you ?
So now you have widdled down your original “ paranoia and the omg just totally overwhelmed to “ stupid sensation?” So what has changed since you started this thread??
I’ll be honest I see lots of self sabotage and downplaying your struggle because you have been challenged with logical questions.
I’ll hush up now, I’m just trying to point out somethings, you and I have known each other for years, this is a ongoing problem /mental place for you.. I’m just poking holes in some faulty thinking
Many hugs !
