So I am in a high anxiety state -
 see old T for last time next week and then have to make appt with new T - dont know who that is yet... so am easily triggered and have been .But i have had 2 small wins in the last 2 days and wanted to share the good vibes  I have been to chat before (only got as far as the lobby) and got really badly triggered - SI'd afterwards  but being really stubborn.... ooops I mean persistant... but slow I waited a loooooong time and then went to a scheduled chat (DBT)- I was Sooooo anxious and panicky - but I did it! I stayed till the end and participated a bit - yeah for me!!! SO when I saw another chat today (scheduled- general mental health with doc john) I went again!!! and this time I was less anxious!!! Yeah !! I guess I can feel safer in the ones where there is someone directing and monitoring the chat - whoo hoo - progress!!!! Here's some  for all

Your anxiety is understandable (I carried mine all week before my meeting!). It also makes sense how a chat with someone in charge would be easier to feel safe in.........

(((phoenix)))) Good for you! You've made progress this week, and nothing can take that away. It won't all be forward, but small steps is how it's done. Breathe.

Hi there, Phoenix7
! Congrats on your progress...it's so good to see people progressing...it kind of gives other people some good vibes (at least it gives me some sort of encouragement ). Now, I would like to get more info about these chats with Doc John...I don't know much about it and how it works. Thanks and keep progressing!

at the top of the page - there is a list of words in blue - one is chat - that has details of when the chats are and what the chats are about
then on the next line down is 'CHAT" this is who is in chat now - the scheduled chats are usually supervised - the others are not take care P7
