Can I still post though it is obvious I am not always using my "wise mind" (rational mind) full time yet?--have only been in DBT about 7 weeks now! I'm still learning after a lifetime of rapid cycling bipolar. Meds are helping, but I know I need to do "my part" by learning how to control the escalating emotions & not let them get control of me--not there yet--obviously--apologize for that.

But just wanted to say great job on handling a really tough & hurtful situation where it would be easy to just "throw in the towel" & also you have a really cute picture.--Suzy
