If you can't get some outside help today Deneb, being it's Fri., for your sake at least 'try to contact your T'. It will look good that you made an effort to help yourself. Then, maybe go lie down somewhere. Lie in a comforting position to u, maybe w/ your fav' blanket or throw. (I have a blankie w/ sheep on it that someone I loved gave to me.) Relax your body and focus on the position of your body, making yourself comfortable, making yourself almost feel a little sensual (not in a creey bad sexual way, but in a good sexual way, in a beautiful way, and relax and think about the position of your body.
I'm gonna' go do that for an hour or so right now as I have a scary appt. this afternoon.
The above is actually a skill I learned in DBT.
Oh, and if noise or others' talking bothers you or interferes w/ your remaining calm, do you have some ear plugs?
I put them in when I hear something I don't like, like laughing when I'm feelin' really down, or sometimes when I want to make a lot of noise and not worry about what other people think! I know, I'm bad.
Actually the ear plug thing isn't a part of DBT. It's just a me thing.
hugs, whooooppppps I almost (never mind), 5f
