> BobMy concern is that due to Deneb's previous posts about the agony which she experiences when blocked, this puts Bob in an *imposible* position. If she will OD to avoid taking a test - what will she do if Bob blocks her? I'd hate to be in his shoes. The fear lies over the entire neighborhood now. It's pretty uncomfortable.
For Deneb - Maybe a list of things worth dying for would help? Personally, I'd die to save the life of a child. I'd give my life for *some* of my loved ones. But...IMO, being blocked doesn't come close to being worth dying over. Yes, I know it is more distressing for you...but
Do you think being blocked is worth dying over? It's temporary. Dead is forever. I'm not sure you fully grasp that. You scare the crap outta me when you talk about how easily you consider OD'ing to avoid distress. Please get a copy of Linehan's workbook on DBT and read the section on Distress Tolerance. I really think it will help. Here is a helpful website: http://www.dbtselfhelp.com/index.html
Take care.
