Good luck Wanda with the DBT program! It sounds as a very good move. I also saw Eberts talk. It was very inspirational. Take care,Henrik I posted this yesterday and then deleted it, because it sounded'stupid'. I really want to share it to thank and Detlef fortheir posts.Don't be discouraged. We can be heroes.This morning, Monday morning, I am discouraged beyond despair and havebeen in bed, escaping, numbing, and sleeping for 4 days. Today I wasgoing to go to my last week of TMS (Transcranial magnetic stimulation)treatments and tell them. " " I quit. It is not working, when I tell `you' what is going on you

donot listen you do not understand. OK, maybe I will finish out the week,but I will not speak to you at all, everything gets mixed up when Ispeak, you, the TMS tech don't write what I am experiencing correctly tothe psychiatrist, when I met with the psychiatrist last week, he wasimpatient, incredulous at the things I was worrying about, and, in mymind, threw up his hands and said I could quit whenever I want, said Iwas intentionally looking for ways to keep myself sick. " " Prior to the last 4 days I had been sleeping a lot. On Thursday heincreased a med for anxiety and I attribute that to my sleeping nonstop(beyond 'alot'for the last 4 days. " " I am discouraged, I wouldn't have `seen' my pattern of `'giving up''without Y's post. Jung said: " when an inner condition not makeconscious. It appears outside as fate. " it nearly the

first time Iobserve how my habit turns into fate.Without Detlef's link to 's TED presentation I was determined torevert to decades of behavior. Not speaking because it doesn't work,people do not understand, I am hurt by the responses I hear, I cannotmake myself clear, I blurt out things that are inappropriate, likesomeone else has taken over my mouth. I experience incredulous responseswhen I interact with people.After 40 years of religious faith I have lost all faith in anything. Idon't want to call this moment of `coincidence' a miracle. I don't knowwhat to accurately call it, but I am very overwhelmed. I am off toshower and drive to an appointment and cooperate with people who aretrying to help me. I am not calling to cancel another appointment I havethis afternoon, week 3 of a 9 week series called `Foundations of DBT'. Arequirement prior to entering a

yearlong 3x's/week DBT program.ps. decreased meds back to what they were. am now more awake during theday.Wanda in Albuquerque
