Hi Crazy,
That's great that you were able to open up with T, though I know that is hard to do as we were often programmed to keep secrets.

That's also great that you know your limits as far as drinking or not. It's hard to find other coping skills but it's great that you are working on that. I used to think if I drank it made me crazy. I found out though that what really goes on is that it causes a lot of switching (which probably looks crazy to others and sure feels crazy to me if I am present enough in between). Thankfully I needed control due to the out of control feelings in general that I did not turn to drinking. I did, however, turn to other non healthy methods of coping that I am trying to work on now.

Good job telling T. I hope your T is able to reassure you that you are not crazy. Dissociation is a coping skill and it worked when it was needed.
