Hey Dinah -
I'm not really into the DBT stuff, but am open to checking into it. Do you have a good link/website source? I heard of the books available, but don't want to buy one w/o learning more about it first.
Actually, the scary ceiling fan, issues like that are not as bothersome as the OCD type of anxiety. I've had anxiety in various forms most of my life, but this type of anxiety only started with therapy, seemingly a result of my attachment issues. Previously, my anxiety was very GAD with full-blown panic attacks from time to time, though it has felt differently at different time periods over the years.
It's difficult since its a newer symptom. I've always had the intellectualization coping mechanisms, but not combined with anxiety--until a T activated my attachment issues. This did not happen with romantic relationships; I think the lack of physical contact, of course in addition to the transference, forces your emotions more to the surface ss opposed to dating relationships. Not sure...
I've coping with my to do list ok lately. It just gets worse in the evenings when I try to sleep...yeah, I'd appreciate if you had a web link to share about the DBT aspect you mentioned.
Thanks again :)
