Sorry I didn't reply sooner. Quite the busy day. Oh and I meant to go look for my DBT workbook pages to help answer your questions better.
Well, I can say it was IRL... she worked out of a workbook and basically spent the session reading to me. :P nah! Sorry, I exaggerate a bit. She Did explain a few things and clarify when I had questions. We did a few drills there but most was meant for at home. I never felt mastery at the things, but she said I was doing fine. We stopped for a minute when she had asked my hubby and parents to write a letter to her describing my good qualities. Frankly, parents didn't have a lot to say and I'm not sure I'm even actually any good at some of what they said. Husband, omg, wrote how I used to be good at crochet and cooking for instance but now I don't really do much. Yeah, my supposed partner couldn't even come up with one thing! She said that says more about him than me. This is why I want couple's counseling...well, like part of the main reason. Anyway, back to DBT, well we progressed a bit more, but then I got stuck with the creative stuff. Like, I couldn't really participate in these activities as examples and never will...and like it was asking me to change things that I couldn't change or something (this is where my notes might be helpful). But so basically if I couldn't do that exercise, I couldn't move on so we both agreed it would be a waste of time and money to continue. :/ Believe me, I felt pretty bummed after that.

Sorry you didn't have such a great day. Are you feeling any better now? I'm...i don't really know how I am. No, I guess I'm just tired...although I seem to have some energy atm. Weird. But not like exercising energy. I've been avoiding it for as long as possible (the crap virus of the day), but its starting to affect me. Food items running out and I'm staying home and I'm stressing about guaranteeing hubby s lunches because a lot of restaurants will be closing by his work. Ugh! But he has no lunch for tomorrow. He says there HAS to be something open. For both our sakes, I really hope so! Because he gets crabby when hungry. Hopefully I'll be able to make a good meal...

On another note, pdoc related, she was getting sick of my constant complaining about my cooking anxiety. Ironically, it has gotten better now after a few months away from it. Not that it's related, it's just too bad she can't see the progress that she was demanding for next meeting (that never happened)...i mean, its not like the anxiety would have been gone at that point anyway, and I'm clearly starting to stress again. Sigh! Sorry for whining.

Part of why pdoc ended was because she wanted to see me doing more things and me doing more things with hubby. The things with hubby never really really happened. I mean, there were a few times, but not regular and that was much past the fact too, so we just didn't want to keep revisiting the same story over and over and pay for a visit just to refill prescriptions and wait for 3 hours for the appointment (ok, the last time was a VERY long wait, but most visits were still more than reasonably long waits and it wasn't easy getting appointments either, so you had to suck it up and waste your whole day there. Sigh) My GP can fill my prescriptions several times over without me having to come in for almost a year! Although I have been seeing him every couple of months now for like the last year.

Ok, now I'm sorry for droning on....bleh!
