Hi @CheerBear, @Phoenix_Rising, @mudsum

I dropped out for a bit again. Went a little MIA. I've had a big week too. Started with a new GP yesterday that could have gone better, my old GP has taken maternity leave.....really inconvenient when women have babies 😝 (So at least I didn't make her leave😆). Had a heavy phone app with cc today and I start DBT tomorrow. All a bit new and scary but basically I saw a hole on Monday and thought that perhaps I should jump in and see how dark it was 😳:face_with_rolling_eyes:. It's taken me until now to turn the flashlight of my phone on to see the ladder I could use to climb out. Strange description this one, I have no idea where it's coming from 😜. So I'm back until I crash again which knowing me won't be long 😧. 

Anyway, nice to 'see' you all. It's good to hear some good news today from you 😊😃

So sorry my English is appalling. Didn't see a hole on Monday as such, just think I went looking for one and found it and jumped in 😖😱

oops only managed an hours sleep last night so very tired and scatty 😲🤔:face_with_rolling_eyes:😏

@mudsum That's not a dumb question. The book has a cream-coloured cover with a small blue design in the middle of it.

Good to see you @Former-Member . Having to start with a new GP would definitely suck. I hope the DBT goes well tomorrow. Do you mean you are starting in a group? Have you done DBT before?

[Former-Member]

Yes I'm starting DBT in a group with CMH @Phoenix_Rising. It's 2.5 hours a week and a weekly session with my therapist. I have done DBT before but I wasn't in the right headspace and missed heaps of sessions. It's also quite intense being in a group and having to share so much. I feel like it's the right time to try again and have been lucky enough to get a place. 

Im really glad you woke up well today. That made me smile this morning 

💜😊

Littlest fish just had the biggest meltdown. Could you all hear it from wherever you are, because I'm fairly certain the whole world heard that one? Lucky it was not as massive in duration as it was in intensity 😐

@Former-Member - I remembered you were starting DBT this week but wasn't sure when. I think I'd feel nervous starting anything new really. I hope you find it really helpful. At the break place one of the big white ships went on about DBT a lot. I've never done it before, but my CBT psych also uses DBT techniques/strategies (whatever it is) and I find some of them really helpful. It's so difficult to have to start with new people like GPs. Damn babies 😛 I really like the whole hole and torch metaphor. I spoke here about building a house that's part of a village on stable ground today. I'm glad you turned on the torch and found the ladder in the end (as it seems you/we always end up doing). Hope tomorrow goes well for you and the rest of this week is easier. It's nice to hear from you 🙂

@mudsum - I'll have a google around look at the courage to heal. I'm always up for a book! I have the same one of TBKTS @Phoenix_Rising by the sound of it. I've found it hit some sore spots, but in that good in the end kind of way.

Thanks @CheerBear 💜😊

just a heads up @CheerBear, @Phoenix_Rising, @mudsum there is a thread called 'The body keeps the score' by @MoonGal about that book if you are interested in having a look here. I remember when she was writing about it. 💜🤗

[CheerBear]
