flutterby Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Im meant to be going to group dbt next week, but im in a very fast mood, my head is racing and a million thoughts and ideas on the go. Im always on the go at the moment. I saw my cpn the other day and she said she could see how i couldnt sit stiil and am very wired. Ive been prescribed diazepam but its really not working. I dont see how i can sit still for three hours when i can barely sit down for 10minutes without being incredibly fidgety. I feel very happy and buzzing but othrs around me dont seem to feel the same about me. I dont know whether to go and i feel i should cos its distreess tolerance. but i just dont see how i can?

bluemoon5 Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Its sounds like fear of starting dbt is making you in a spin though sounds like controlling this is really hard. Acknowledging your fear here or with friends might help. Also I wonder if you can say to yourself that its not as bad as you are thinking it will be ok, that sort of thing. anxiety can be totally debilitating though so its really tough on you. Could you can go and tell them how anxious you are and see what they say and can do to help you. By the way totally understand how hard this is and how important it is for you to go too, been there done that. Funny how the thing that is meant to help is also the thing that makes us so "unwell", crap eh. thinking of you and keep talking xxxxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saharah Blue Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 When I did DBT they let us have paper, markers, colored pencils to help us through the long sessions. We were permitted to doodle, draw as an outlet, it helped me countless times and I even have a whole collection of my DBT art therapy moments still. Maybe you could asked about what is permitted that would help accommodate the restlessness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
