MY FIRST APOLOGY ON PSB!

Dear Creature,

I wouldn't blame you if you rolled your eyes skyward after reading my so-called reply to your dilemma. I was just so punch drunk after 15 hours trying to get into the site and intoxicated at the possiblity of undivided attention that your message served as an association for me, and off I went on my own DBT adventures.
I've since given your note a more careful study and realize that my response wasn't appropriate for the situation at hand. Complaining about ADHERENCE to therapeutic principles, when chances are you could use a little adherence right now. So, water under the bridge eh? Thanks.
I don't know where you are in the process of getting services, you sound tenacious and on top of the situation, absurd as it is. They have a fat lot of nerve to call us dysfunctional while operating from such neurotically impenetrable and effed up beurocracies. You have to be a Trial Lawyer when dealing with these people, wear a wire so you can play back their own voice to them when they start trotting out the lies and circumlocutions, but I digress. Can I ask a couple questions?

Is there a referral hotline in the front of your phonebook? If so I bet they could help you conquer the mean mistreaters when you don't have the stamina to go the usual ten rounds. I've done that and they were sympathetic and proactive about about stepping up to the plate for the fragile mental patient at her most vulnerable hour. Or somesuch. Point being THEY made the calls and got back to me with the goods. I've also called the YWCA when lost and broke and needing therapy, also the United Way, and both organizations were on it before I hung up the phone. So I've become a true believer in these monolothic non-profit do-gooders. Anything but government agencies. Sorry if all this is anecdotal and useless.
About DBT. If you haven't already just forget everything I said in the previous note. Those are didactic issues, filtered thru my own characterological hatred for authority. Who knows-maybe vegetables ARE good for us. I gather you liked the DBT lady, yes? That's the name of the game in this racket. I've had providers who could have been satanists for all I knew of their theoretical underpinnings, b/c the relationship was healing me at such a breakneck pace I didn't have time to quibble.
Sorry if I'm coming across all self-important, as if my earlier post could scar you for life, but I know how suggestible I am, Lord, I'll create an entire belief system based on a facial expression, so I felt it was my duty to come back and talk straighter. OK, hope things in your neck of the woods are coming together for you.
