Need huge hugs, please

Wow, I'm tearing up while I type this...trying not to cry. I opened that DBT Workbook for Bipolar Disorder. It looks very good, but it apparently is very triggering for me. I literally was physically ill and now all this emotional rush.

I put it away for now. I'll be needing to do this workbook in small chunks or maybe with a therapist.

It reminded me and made me realize how messed up I am. I guess I'm faking it a lot more than I admit to. I'm not trying to be "fake"...I'm a genuine person as to others. As to myself? Not so much. I just realized that.

I could use a big hug right now. I don't even know how to describe what I feel. I feel like I'm disintegrating, I think. Whoa.

So many hugs for you!!

Big hugs to you. Sorry that it triggered you.

I understand. There are things that are meant to be helpful that actually trigger me, too.

I totally get where you are coming from, I have been doing awesome since my last SI/Inpatient stay. And then I realized in therapy that I have been pushing away the issue that led to that episode. I feel like such a phony!!!

I hope that you can get to a place where you can use the DBT skills, while they are some of the hardest to master. I think that they are some of the best for us with BP. You can get through this, and it is ok sometimes to fake it till you make it.

(((hugs)))

HUGS rainyday!!!

I'd like to give some more hugs...

I had a DBT workbook (currently lost) and when I would read through it, I would get emotional too...couldn't figure out why. I totally understand and I'm so sorry you are feeling so terrible. Working with a therapist on the book is a good idea. I hope these feelings pass for you soon. (((Hugs)))

Hugs!!

I can't make the smilies work so here's a big hug in word form

Big hugs. I'm doing a Dbt as well.

(((((Big Hugs)))))) That's been my reaction sometimes, too. So, I headed to Distress Tolerance, and did that work for awhile. Believe me, tiny bits work well.

Thank you

Hugs

How are you feeling now?
Any better?

Big hugs!!!!!

Big time bear hugs for you. I had a rough couple of nights too. Always remember, this feeling will pass. One good thing about our disorder is that by the time u understand what u are feeling we are swept away off to another one lol.

Big big big hugs ❤️

Many many giant squishy hugs to you (((((((((( rainy ))))))))))

I just got that same workbook because i couldnt get a class. The whole book together might be scary to you. To do it w a therapist mite work for us both, or to just xerox a small section at a time and work on that, pehaps with a buddy.
