> it's Very good that you are trying behavioral techniques instead of numbing with meds, but remember the meds are there for a reason (at the right Rx amounts). Don't reverse injure yourself by witholding medication when it is needed. then you are still punishing yourself whether it be by using too much (or not enough).
>*good point. I think I'm going to wait until true emergency to use prn though. I think maybe the klonopin was depressing. And the zyprexa (I take 10mg of zydis- the quick dissolve type) is only for dissociative nightmares.

Ironically, I just wrote out a whole list this morning, when I should have been getting ready to see T.I wrote a llurpsielist above http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/psycho/20080321/msgs/821130.html
those are distraction activities.The self soothing ones are on another list. maybe after dinner. but wellbutrin has killed my appetite. I don't even want to eat anything.
