Re: Not Coping

Increase in SI works with ACT because ACT focuses on accepting thoughts and emotions as they come and giving them the due weight. That is, they are only just thoughts and emotions - nothing more, nothing less @Birdofparadise8 .

 

However, you need a therapist that is comfortable in using that approach because it is a newer approach compared to others.

Re: Not Coping

I have been able to process my SI and realise it's an irrational thought. I still am scared they could get worse, but with my new med increase, I hope it will decrease them. 

I have tried my best to see them as just thoughts. 

@tyme 

So I could say that's a step in the right direction, don't you think?

Re: Not Coping

Yes, You are taking many steps in the right direction. @Birdofparadise8  Just keep going. It doesn't happen overnight.

Re: Not Coping

Yeah @tyme 

I'm going to the movies on Wednesday with the guy I've been talking to. 

Re: Not Coping

Nice. That's a good change @Birdofparadise8 

Re: Not Coping

Yeah, and then we will look around the shops and come back here @tyme 

Both my roommates aren't here, so that's good. I like the quite here, but then I don't at the same time. 

Re: Not Coping

All the best with it 🙂 @Birdofparadise8 

Re: Not Coping

Thank you @tyme 

Are you doing anything over the weekend?

Have you finished your course?

Re: Not Coping

Awwww... my poor course. I was at a standstill since going away... I'm so sad because I set myself to the end of Feb to finish it... @Birdofparadise8 . I can if I put in all my time and effort, but I've got too much to do now. What a shame. 

 

I think it'll be hot on the weekend so I'll be in the pool on Sunday. Otherwise I'm not sure what I'll be doing.

Re: Not Coping

I'd better hop off. I'll see you over the weekend. G'night @Birdofparadise8 . Enjoy your wkend
