I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

Hi @Former-Member
I don't know what DBT is - but I guess I can look it up
I know you SHd a couple of times after certain therapy - maybe more times - I don't know but it occurs to me that if this is happening rather than give you black marks it's better to try and work out something else for you - and find out what is really happening with you
I know you are battling but don't give up even when you feel like it - this sounds like real courage to me - I wonder if I have had that much courage - I don't think I could SH - but maybe I have never seen the point - I have an attitude - (some years back it was a bad thing to at attitude but now it's a good thing) - yes - my attitude - I would not give my mother or TS the satisfaction of doing that - I would never let them know how badly they have hurt me - that is in the past now though TS is still at it - but she is not going to win her strange sibling rivalry
However - in the past I could curl into the tightest ball I could and cry until I got a migraine - and got really sick and felt better emotionally after I threw up which makes me wonder
Anyway - I am thinking of you - and I have thought about this but we need to share our own experiences rather than just say our opinion - I have been in dark places and they are so long ago they have faded in my memory also - but the truth has not.
I remember being helpless and afraid - and I had to find professional help with that - and it has only been professional help that has been there for me - so it seems to me that athough you have us in the Forum Family - you don't actually know who we are - and that no one really cares for you and you are really alone in the world and I feel so sad for you
But I am thinking of you

hi @Former-Member
All the best with setting your reset button - you know when you need to go to hospital to sort it out
I will be thinking of you - and hope it works out for you quickly - but take your time with it
@Former-Member
Just take it easy - I will be going to bed soon - so I hope you are okay - but take life as it comes - in bitznpiecez
