LadyMacbeth Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Just finished with my therapy session. At first I was scared to death about going in their and my heart was beating a mile a minute. I had to stand outside for 15 minutes but once I went in I calmed down and relaxed when I saw her. She had panic attacks too! So she can relate. She explained to me about her therapy techniques which occur in three stages. She already gave me homework! She has a nice disposition and personality and very friendly. I can tell she knows she she is doing. She did not even mention meds to me and did not judge me as a Borderline either. She also made me make a pact with her to stop researching diseases and things like that online because it triggers panic attacks. I am so glad I went through with it. She gave me her cell number so I can call her when I am having a panic attack. LM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktodee_27 Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Sounds good Lady Mcbeth! It's always nice when people dont judge you over being a borderline. Yeh, same with me, no researching diseases online because it triggers panic. Staff made that rule in my treatment plan. I hear ya there. Have a good day.

lille_eskimit Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 David said the same about me, 'cos I'm such a hypochondriac! Maybe I should do the same as you? :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyMacbeth Posted January 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Yeah, you may want to Charme. We were having a conversation about how I start reading something on like schizophrenia and illnesses and start obsessing over them thinking I have them. Obsessive thinking causes panic attacks. Oh, I am gonna post some interesting points about panic attacks she gave me for HW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginny Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 I bet I know how great you feel lady!!!!!! Same as me!!!! I had my first DBT session last week and it went great -I actually feel like I can get well and nobody mentioned the word Borderline. I am so hopeful now.... Really, really, glad this is working out for you - we can move forward together - onward and upward! Ginny PS. What is your avatar now - does it represent something?

LadyMacbeth Posted January 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Yes, I feel like she is accepting me as a person. She is not big into labels and does not think so far that I am even though I have shown traits. But, the main thing is recovery. YES WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, my new avatar represents the Spanish flag. Yes, I am a strange cat but I am in love with the country. I think I was Spanish in a past life just because of my weird obsession with the country.
