LLurpy, my T says to try and figger all what is stressing me. Oftimes its many things, even little things, all together.
Then try and break it down to do something about things you might be able to do something about. Eg, you cut your work hours down. That was good.
CBT stuff, for all that its dry and boring as hell, and sometimes unfortunately triggering, can be useful.
Maybe you can do some llurpylists.
Your looking at getting a new home, working at your marriage(you been to MC yet?), being in a new area with few close friends at hand, working at an extreemly challenging job and still learning how to cope with that (cuz ANYbody who has any feelings at all would struggle with what you do...). You have your own demons to struggle with, you have the vagaries of meds. Damn girl, you got alot on your plate. So of course your stressed and falling bacl to old tried and true coping stuff at times! It takes time, a long time to learn and adapt into your psyche, new and better coping mechanisms.
LL I hope you can give yourself credit for how much you have accomplished just since I have known you on babble! You are strong, but dammit, your strong cuz YOU work hard at it. Your an amazing woman to me.
So I hope you can reach out to T and tell him you are working so hard at struggling along. Is there an interim T while your T is gone, just someone who can remind you of right things to do when you getting overwhelmed?
I know dissoc is scarey :-( But it seems to pass these episodes. It seems to be a sign that your stressed. Just remember, that it does pass. You will find your equilibrium again. And each time you go thru a tough time, you get stronger and learn more. At the time of peak intensity, its SO hard, but just keep telling yourself it WILL ease. It WILL.
Take good care, thanks for the brownie!
