The last two day has been out of control. I am not able to control myself. I have been very nasty to people and telling them things i use to hold back. I have caused so much trouble by telling them the things i have. I dont know why but i just feel like this is not me in my body. I am so glad i see my counselor tomorrow. I am hoping and praying she can get me into the doctor before may 15th. that is the next date they had open to see the doctor. if for some reason she is not able to get me in earlier can anyone advised me on what i should do. I cant keep going on this way. I am afraid my anger will spiral out of control and i may physically hurt someone. Just to let you all know i see a doctor at my local mental health clinic because of not having insurance. I would think that they should be able to see me sooner but i dont want to get hospitalized either. I have a family member that stays with me and knows my condition so if it would get out of control they can get help. I just need to know what to do please. thanks
Benadryl , will calm you down, and may even put you to sleep, it is safe and usually does not cause any problems
Warm shower with bath gels ...as you take your shower, tell your body , how thankful you are that it works so hard to keep you going
Mindful Meditations ....if you don't know what Mindful Meditation is ..Google it , and there is some good info.
Take care
This disorder is so difficult to live with sometimes and it takes a lot of strength to get through the episodes. You are doing the right thing getting in to see your doc. In the meantime, do you have some good coping skills that you can use to help you through this? I find that meditation helps me center and calm myself down. I limit my "human" interaction and stay away from situations I know I will be uncomfortable in. I let my family know I need my space and I take a lot of time for me.
The most difficult thing is that I cant control the dysphoria, I can only keep it at bay and avoid hurting others as much as possible. Try not to be too hard on yourself and try to walk away from situations or people who may trigger you.
Hang in there!!!! xo
What would luke sky walker do.
Or what would jesus do..
Or I say over and over.. do no harm do no harm
However I am usually mean to people that I love and have well have kinda screwed them over on the past. It seems to be easeir to just push them further away so I do not have to deal with them.
That does not work and I feel worse after doing that.
I find that If I keep my plate clean and say I am sorry how can I fix that when I wrong them I am placed on a higher plane of thinking.. Dont worry .. you can probably fisx most of this with a few phone calls and a little pateince.
I find if I owe money and shit like that I can get that way to...
I can go on and on.. but I am sure you know what to do...
