> O.K. So you're in exposure therapy--may I ask for what issues?

I have participated in DBT therapy in the past, and have had plenty of CBT. Right now I concentrate on distress tolerance, mindfulness and exposures to help with the OCD symptoms.

>Does that work with inner thoughts as part of it? Like CBT?

Well, what I've done is structured it in my head that when I am speaking to myself in my head I imagine speaking to someone else. I think I was feeling very lonely just talking about the same thing over and over in my head to myself. I hate it though when I feel like I'm examining my inner voice, then it feels like not my own and that is very deporsonalizing.

> I have also borrowed from DBT--especially distress tolerance.

Its been a life saver for me.

>acceptance of thoughts, feelings and sensations).

This is where I get kind of washed out. Sometimes there's such a rumble all I can do is shut it out and just feel this blank, restless, depressed, dreadful feeling. Its like a peaceful terror, if that makes sense.

>D-amp makes them shush to a tolerable level as well.

Same here, but my Keppra hushes them even more and then I just have three voices, mine, which feels not my own at times, the depressed, I am nothing voice and the OCD voice which tells me I'm going crazy, going to kill myself, dying or about to kill.

> Sometimes the inner voice (what I'm calling it may not be what you are referring to) is quite loud and pins me to the mat and seems more than I can bear.

Oh, I get this terrible voice that beats my brain down until I can't think a single thing or panic.

> Good luck, really. Are you finding anything helpful in these board responses?

Yes, I am. Your's is a helpful response.
