Re: My special place

Yeah it is a pretty big part to see how you are feeling as well as how you use the skills you go through in group sessions @Snowie - it does take some effort too but the more you do it as a normal routine the easier it gets - like most things I suppose Smiley Tongue

Would love to hear how you go with it - I actually had a couple of sections (fear and SI were the big ones) divided into day and night for a while as my feelings changed dramatically between day and night. Now I am back to normal (not me per se but the diary card lol)

@Zoe7

The facilitator said we could change some columns if we wanted to and we will do that with who we meet. I have already crossed out substance use as it will always be 0 and written 'flashbacks' there as that is more of an issue for me. SI and SH divided for me would be good as they can both change during the day too and can change over night depending on what sort of night I am having. I like that idea hun, thanks Smiley Happy

Re: My special place

No worries @Snowie Smiley Very Happy

I think it is well worth changing those things to what works for you. I could definitely see the difference between day and night and even which days were the worst - usually Sunday as I said earlier and the couple of days before DBT - that has changed lately though. I am not as anxious about going to DBT but can often have a bad night on a Wednesday night if there has been anything that triggered me during DBT or my pdoc session and sometimes afterwards I am more susceptible to triggers because I am so tired.

Time to get dinner organised - catch you later @Snowie Heart

Re: My special place

Thinking of you Hon - hoping you are as okish as you can be and sending you some extra love and hugs @Snowie Heart

Re: My special place

Thank you for checking in Hon - missing you @Snowie but understand Heart

Re: My special place

I see my psych every week. He is away for 3 weeks and it is too hard, I rely on him too much to talk things through. He understands me. If I ring a helpline and tell them the truth, they just say ring CATT (who I have rang before and say they can't help me) or want to send someone out. I don't want that. I can't be truthful with anyone. 

I am tired, I had too many meds last night. The only good thing is they knocked me out and I got some sleep, some time away from my crappy life. 

Too many thoughts are in my head and I can't stop them. I want out of this.

Re: My special place

It is really hard for you at the moment @Snowie - can so much hear that in your words. Sitting with you Hon and listening Heart
