I went back to therapy today and I am not sure what is going to happen. As some of you witnessed the other night ~ I believe it was Sunday night~ I had an episode. A friend saved the chat for me, so I was able to take it to T's office and he read it. He is not sure if it is regression or discociation. And being that he is an LCSW( Licensed Councelor and Social Worker) he is not sure he has the training to deal with this deep a thing . He is seeking advice from his advisor about it . So I may have to go to someone else after all. I am also supposed to bring my razors in next week . But I told him I will probably just go out and buy more. He said bring the damn razors in . I dont want to see you hurting yourself.This is going to be so hard to do. I do want to get better , but I am tired of it seeming like I am not making any progress , but always downsliding here. Well I just wanted to let you know. Sorry it took so long to write this.

Ohh and BTW I told my T about how I came here after I got discharged in December and wrote that I graduated from Therapy . He laughed and said I never gave you a diploma did I? So I guess that goes to show how much I know about this stuff lol.

<font color="green"> (((((Tryin))))) I am sorry you are struggling so but I am glad your therapist is working with you. If you have to go to someone else it will be ok. Perhaps there is just more that needs to bubble up and be worked through than either of you were counting on. You have come so far - you can make it all the way. I have confidence in you. </font>

Hey tryin,

Well at least you got back, right? At least you know that even if you have to go to somebody else, it is giving you the chance to work through your past, which is damaging you today. You're not failing by going back to therapy. It's another form of progress. Progress can take many forms... you've used courage just going back. You could just have tried ignoring all this, and maybe you would have been partially, maybe even wholy successful, but I imagine it would have reappeared sometime in your future. Better to go back to therapy in this case sooner rather than later, eh? I'm proud that you have gone back, and I really hope it helps you.

It takes a lot of courage to admit you need help. In that manner of speaking, you are one of the most courageous people I know. Asking for help is OK! The only time you fail, Ms. Tryin, is when you refuse to try. And that's not you...your name has TRYIN in it. I never Graduated from Therapy~

I know going to a different t or doc is scary, but it will be ok. Hubby and I are on doc #3. And each time it's been a trade up...well...cept Dr. Quack and we don't count her. I never Graduated from Therapy~

If I was a cheerleading type...and I'm NOT. I'd send you a you can do it cheer.

Wait...here ya go!

(hehehe...just proof I have WAY too much time on my hands)
