Thanks Donna and Bizi for your kind and thoughtful wishes and hugs.

current hunch i am not going to go to the rehab community. just... even getting the ball rolling would be such a hassle i can't see getting through the steps. irony of it is that, if i could get through those steps, i'd be doing pretty well... and would not need to even consider it.

pdoc session last night, i told him there are a couple of aspects of DBT i want to learn that fit directly with the issues i am dealing with. i mentioned a couple of specific skills and said i need them, how to i learn them. DBT teaches them but i can't afford the private DBT program. i also told him everything i've read on DBT says it can't be done just by reading a book on it... a therapist is necessary, not optional.

so then i asked if he could help me acquire the skills i need, whether via the "DBT" method or otherwise - the result is what counts.

he told me, he wasn't sure - he would have to look into some things.

well that is the first time he has given me an answer like that. ha! he gave himself homework for me!

(well, i best not get too hopeful until i see IF he actually comes back with something concrete.)

hmmmm.........
