that become big ones... ugh. I have not told my family about the recent si. I also lied to my T about the availability of my preferred tool... I gave the impression that it is not all that easy to get to, when really it is quite easy... I was upfront about telling him that I am not ready to give it up just yet... It is in fact in another room at the bottom of a box that I have to move things in order to get to, but it's a small box and light things that are easy to move... I know I should have told him the truth, but I was afraid that he would then insist I get rid of it... and I'm just not there yet again.
It was bad enough that I answered some questions in journal form with complete honesty... I am not yet ready to give up my "security blanket"... Knowing me, I will tell him friday that I lied about how easy it is to get to... I always worry about people's opinion of me changing, so I don't tell them what's really going on inside... then I lie about things or do not divulge info, and they change their opinion of me anyway... I need to work on this. |

Yes, I agree. For one thing, your therapist is not truly going to be able to help you if you are not honest with her.....

It takes a long time to be ready to give it up. You're working on it with a T and that is a good thing. Please be honest so that you get the help you need.

I think being honest with your doctors and therapist is the way to get better. I can also relate to not wanting to give up your security blanket. I find comfort in knowing I can have some temporary relief if things get to bad. It's not a good or healthy solution, but it is what I have at the moment. I hope you can stay strong and fight the urges and learn to deal with things in a more positive way.

I wrote him an email 2 days ago that I will probably send to him today and talk about it tomorrow, only I have a few things to add... I've found I can tell him the bigger/riskier things better in writing than I can in person. So... yeah. I hate that my defenses spring into action and I make everything seem ok when it really isn't. and then I get frustrated when I don't get the help I need/want. i'm hoping I get approved for disability after I finally put in my application. I got a call-back for an interview today, and I am terrified of going because I don't want to screw up people's opinion of me there. I like them, and they seem to like me... I'm afraid I will mess up at the job, and they will be mad... but I will call anyway and go in to talk, because it's miles above the other job I just declined. It would be so much more fun, and with a great group of people to work with...
