I'm sorry, I spent the weekend away with my mom and haven't had Internet access until now.
I am tired of compartmentalized treatment. Tired of treating anorexia only to relapse on drugs. Tired of getting clean only to relapse into anorexia. Tired of stopping both to take razors to my skin.
These are all the surface issues. And the more so-called "treatment" I receive for my ED and my addiction and my self-injury, the worse this cycle becomes.
I have looked into Schema Therapy. It takes into account EVERYTHING - from the behaviors to the underlying psychopathology to the childhood trauma - and it "fits" in a way that DBT never did. I have hope, having read the practitioner's guide. And their center is in NYC, where I currently live.
I have said that I will see the inside of a coffin before I ever see another treatment facility again, and I meant it. I will do this outpatient or I won't do it at all. Call it borderline thinking if you will, but I am not going inpatient. Not now, not again, not ever.
> Racer, thanks so much for adding that practical information to my previous advice. I didn't know where to suggest and I don't have the energy right now to do that kind of research. I so appreciate you chiming in with actual suggestions!
