Anyone else at some point get a hopeful feeling about their life, therapy journey, or both?

That's the predominant feeling I have about my life and therapy journey. It feels extremely different because most of my life it has been hopelessness that dominates my feelings.

This whole starting to really feel good stuff is just so strange. I mean I just NEVER thought it would happen for me. I thought I would always be miserable and feel the need to hurt myself but I don't anymore. I just need to learn to enjoy the good and work through the bad.

Yes, i can say i have hope. Some days i get discouraged but i have more good days where i can see the end of the tunnel. It feels really good, even tho i'm not at the end of my therapy journey, i feel like the end is something i can achieve.

Sounds like this new T is doing you a world of good Melissa.

The new T and I are working amazingly together. I'm excited for her to have her second child but sad that I won't get to see her for 4 weeks after she has the baby. It won't stop the work I am doing because I want this feeling to continue more often than not.

Thanks Sweepy! I hope you are able to work through your New Year's Eve dread with your T.

It feels really good to be feeling so hopeful and see the work paying off.

That sounds great!

I haven't had that feeling though, no where's near it. I doubt my T can help me. I just go to her cause it helps with my emotions but doesn't help much else. Well she's improved my relationship with my Mother some little bit
Thanks for this!

I do feel hopeful- it never lasts very long but at least it there. I find it incredible how fast DBT seems to work for you Melisssad...

Thank Daeva and Anilam!

Just keep working Daeva it will happen eventually. I would suggest finding another she isn't helping much...maybe the facility you are in could help you find a new T before you leave.

Anilam...my primary problem was managing my emotions properly and safely. I had been in DBT before so I just refreshed what the skills were and started practicing all of them. I also work extra hard at finding ways to make the skills most effective in my life. So I am surprised and I am not at the same time.
