I think the workbook was a good buy :)

I really hope you got some good sleep :hug:

got good sleep last night even though I imbibed a lot over the weekend.
I see my therapist for the second time thursday.
My DBT work book should be in today so that is good. I am going to bring it in with her.
I am hoping it will help me over come my addictions.
Got up later than I should and have been on this computer too long and have missed a shower that I should have taken.
1st cup of coffee tastes so good.
I have a light week, hopefully clients will call so I can fill up my time.
supposed to meet some friends for lunch at 1130.
Taco sisters....I feel like abandoning my diet altogether. sigh

I was on the computer for so long this morning that I did not have time to wash my face nor brush my teeth. I am an addict, I know. Even so I was still late for my morning appointment.
sigh

I forgot it is a holiday today, no mail service.
rats!
Book will be here tomorrow(I hope).

Since I have a tiny break this afternoon and am on here. I should run in to the bathroom and wash my face and brush my teeth after I finish this cup of coffee.

I'm probably only about 1/2 on my diet right now. I wish I wasn't on it at all either. I have given up almost 2 pounds cheating and am not happy about it since I worked so hard to lose that weight :(

I'm sorry that your DBT workbook didn't come in yesterday. Hopefully it will be there in plenty of time for Thursday so you can take a good look at it before your appointment with the therapist.

Thanks kay, I brought the book with me to therapy today and she liked the book, had it already and used it when she taught a class previously.
I really like Robin alot.
I think she is probably the best therapist that I have ever seen.
She picked up that I might be "ADD" and suggested that I talk with my pdoc about getting tested and medicated as a possibility. I remembered years ago my pdoc suggested I might be ADD and to get tested. I said why bother?
We never talked about medication.
Robin today mentioned:
Vyvanse
I will look it up.

I'm so glad that you like her!!!

It's great that she likes the book and has used it in the past, too. It will be a good supplement to your twice a week therapy sessions :hug:

thank you kay.
I will only see robin 1-2 times a month. Can't afford to go more often.
Last night when I could not sleep it dawned on me that I must be hypomanic.
This would explain my increased eating, drinking and internet activities.

I'm sorry, Bizi. I "misspoke" I did mean twice a month.

You are probably right that you are hypo... that's when you binge, and the alcohol can mask some of the other symptoms so it's harder to identify episodes, especially if you are rapid cycling :hug::hug::hug:

you are fine my dear!
I hope that I don't get full blown manic while I am with my family in florida starting saturday. I will bring zyprexa with me in case that happens. I won't have jeff to help me if I need it. I will ask gretchen to help keep an eye on me.

My grandson is on Vvanse. His is for both adhd and tics. I realize you don't have tics. But this is one of the meds that really help other things.

Its worked a lot on his tics.
