Awhile ago I was chatting with my friend Brian. Brian got a DUI and he was telling me about this class he had to take. I asked him if he was doing AA and he said no... he's already done all of the classes they had to offer so they put him in a DBT class.
Huh.. I thought to myself, after all of these years of being told I need to do DBT, yet no one could refer me to a class or group, I had to find out through this weird roundabout way. Elizabeth was even surprised when I told her about it because everyone thought that there just wasn't a DBT class/group here.
I am so excited! I start on Tuesday, but I have to go in tomorrow for my intake appointment. I will be doing individual sessions and group sessions with a half hour in between. I'm hoping it will be worth the $20 a week. I'm just happy I actually found DBT!
My friend Kris has been back home from Italy and I have been busy hanging out with him. We've been going to the gym and he's making me work out hard. He was in the Army so I think he knows what he's doing, haha. All I can say is I am sore but it feels great! I'm hoping I can shed some pounds and tone up so I'll feel better about myself.
Kris and I decided we would go get piercings last night. We both already had one lip piercing so he decided to get one on the other side, which is snake bites, and I decided to get another one on the same side, which is spider bites. Ron went with and had the piercer redo his ears and my friend Sarah went with and ended up getting a piercing, too. haha. It was awesome.
So overall... great mood wise. Still stressing about money and insurance and pills... oh, I had to hit up Elizabeth for some Geodon. Ugh. I'm running out of Lamictal and I'm not sure how much that's going to cost.
I'm hoping with taxes I can get a new computer so I can continue commenting and reading other blogs... it hasn't been very easy to do mobile so I apologize for my absence.
Anyways, check out my new piercing!
I love your new piercing. I tried to get the lip one done and it was really uncomfortable because I couldn't eat. I had just had a tooth removed from my right side and I got the left side pierced, so there was no way eating was comfortable. I have had the labret done before though and my nose and eyebrow and large amount of ear ones. I only have my four lobe ones left though because I only start getting piercings when I'm manic. By the way, you are very pretty :)

hi sara i came across your blog and i just wanted to let you know that i found it a huge comfort. Having suffered with mental health problems since my teens i have felt like such a failiure in all aspects of my life. It was such a a relief to know that there are lots of us out there going through this and its good to know that its not failiure at all its just striving to overcome adversity and that its a daily battle. i think you are so brave and i just wanted to tell you that your honesty is so refreshing. I feel like i can actually say its ok that im not doing ok. You are such an inspiration. love and best wishes sarah xx
