i didn't know that the pain was emotional pain and not physical or somatic pain until... a while into doing dbt. i mean... the people in hospital said that they thought it was an emotion. but i didn't believe them. i mean i have regular emotions too and they didn't feel like that. sometimes they are painful... and sometimes they are screaming. literally sometimes... not quite literally at others. but screaming, yeah. emotions. who would have thought. pretty freaky huh.

i don't really know what the etiquette is here... or maybe... i have a slightly different conception of it than most people. i don't know... it is nice to chat like this. people come along and participate in a conversation for a while. its kinda nice. an unfolding in a way that isn't off topic. off topic... the bane of my existence lol. sorry, i'm probably being confusing. i guess i think... if you don't want other people joining in then it would be only polite to talk to someone via email or something.

did you mean about posting to this thread or about something else?
