<rant> I feel like all the progress I've been making in DBT and therapy is just gone. I SI'ed yesterday and will probably do it again today...I feel all over the place emotion wise and I can't identify why. I need to use my skills but I just don't care and get confused with the more difficult ones. I am so judgmental of myself...I don't think I can change that thinking. I have completely invalidated myself, I don't know how to start validating. I'm getting stuck in the thinking that if I find a new job and a new apartment, everything will be OK again. But that's not the answer.

I feel completely trapped and abandoned and confused. </endrant>.

Hey

Sometimes there are no reasons why...it just is because it is. Just know you will come out of this. I have had a real good month (with some minor blips) and just want to remind you it can and will pass!

Keep ranting if you need to

Your progress isn't gone, though I understand feeling like that. I'm sorry you SI'd. It doesn't take away the times you haven't and the work you've done. And when you feel ready, you can keep building on that. We all have stumbles, it isn't the end of the road. I hope you start feeling better soon.

Sometimes I wish I could hug everyone here in real life! And I'm not a hugger in real life!

You are still a good person and still in recovery even when you make mistakes. Do something good for yourself. Take a hot bath, make a favorite meal, go shopping. Anything that rewards yourself for making progress, because you have.

The progress you have made is still there ~ I know it doesn't feel that way. Try to look at it as though it's taking a nap and will awaken soon. (As corny as that sounds) You will feel okay again. Hugs and positive thoughts your way.
