Thanks, Lemon. Dr. T said today that I did well distracting myself in various ways, particularly dancing from 12-1 am. He said he's been trying for 6.5 years to get me to exercise more, so even though it's not the ideal time to exercise, he can't complain about it! I was also reaching out to friends, in addition to the hotline. He said how it's been a long time since I've been like this emotionally, which he saw as progress (I agree). That it was a piling on of stressors, plus a difficult session yesterday.


And I do have a DBT workbook.
