I had been waiting for my new DBT therapist to call so I could get started. They told me it would be 2 weeks before I would get a call. So 2 weeks went by and no one called. I waited 1 more day and called them. [It's a grp of therapists in a hospital based program]. A few hours went by and I could feel myself getting angry. So I cut. I must have been really angry because I cut so hard I did real damage. It could be a good thing because it really scared me. Cutting has never been out of my control before. It has always been kind of methodical even when I am angry. The new T. called shortly after. I'm starting Tues. 3 and 1/2 weeks after intake. I still cannot give up old T. though, maybe soon. terrics

I can only imagine how frustrating the wait has been. I'm sorry this happened to you. I'm glad you finally made contact with the T and start group soon. Please take care of yourself. Post more if it helps you. I don't know much about cutting but I hope you take care of yourself and do whatever it takes to not cut.

Tuesday is very very soon. I'm very glad the wait is over.
The mixture of anger and feeling helpless is a potent one for me. But DBT is supposed to be very good at teaching coping skills for those times. Please let me know what you think of it. I've always been very interested in learning it.

(((terrics))),
I'm glad to hear the new T called. If you need anything before Tuesday (or after, for that matter) let us know. Maybe it would just help to talk to us. And good luck on Tuesday.
Take care of yourself,
All Done

Terrics - Are you taking care of your booboo? Does it need to see a doctor?
Please be nice to you. Emmy

I'm so glad you have a date to start DBT.
I hope that you find it helpful - I know I did. (But sometimes it can be a bit stressful - you need to know that going in)
Let us know how it goes!
