Noa- what a good Idea! I think that my therapist would be very open to the idea of learning more about cutting.. I will share the book and thus the SAFE program with her and maybe we can get somewhere with it. In a lot of ways I have always been a groundbreaker with the medical community.. I have dealt with the education of a lot of "professionals" and am very open to the education of those that are supposed to be helping me. Yesterday I was able to see the psych nurse and found out, lo and behold, that my labs were in and my tegretol level was considerably low , even after I had increased it myself..! It would help a lot if these people would just listen to me and give me credit for what I know about myself and my illness in general.. It is infuriating , even when you are not in a rage, to get the proverbial "condesending pat on the head" when you are trying to explain what is going on with you. And , yes would all those here who understand the difference between anger and rage please raise your hand! I am tired of the "professionals " telling me that "everyone gets angry" ... yes, but there is a difference between the two moods.. Well. I feel alot better now. At least I am not just raving . I actually have concrete proof that something is wrong. Thanks so much for your help and support.. I hope to be able to get a handle on the cutting too... the SAFE program is very useful.... I am finding it makes a lot of sense.... I will keep you posted.. thanks for caring-Cyndy
