I finally received a phone call to set up an appointment to see a therapist. I like his voice, so calm and soothing. He made me laugh on the phone. This is a good thing, I hadn't laughed yet today. Our first appointment is on Tuesday, at 3 pm.
My daughter's college night was tonight, and I braved the crowds to go with her to go check out all the colleges that came to the high school. It's kinda scary that she is so close to graduating, and going out on her own.
I also received the DBT workbook I ordered like three weeks ago. The very first exercise in it is radical acceptance. That is extremely hard! I have to work on that. I have to repeat to myself, 'It is what it is.' until I believe it.
