Strix, I have no helpful advice, but do know that I care for you very much, and will always support and respect you. Many virtual hugs to you.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Thank you so much, juliana!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Strix, I'm sorry for the problems you've been having. I used CBT during the break-up of my first marriage, and found it to be helpful. I'm not sure about resources, but this book is a good CBT manual: [link]

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
No judgment, Strix. Ever.
I have nothing either, but you may want to ping vwbug and smonster. They both have experience with DBT, which does incorporate CBT.

Thanks, BT. I will check it out.
I am working through "The Mindful Way through Depression" by Williams, Teasdale, Segal and Kabat-Zinn, and listening to podcasts another Buffista suggested until I can get an appointment.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Strix, I have no help, but I care a lot about you, and I'm glad you have such strong and loving support around you. No judgment, no blame. May you get everything you need, dear girl.

I've been in contact with smonster, but I will hit up VW.
Sigh...I reconciled myself to be a lifelong chronic depressive and insomniac, but I never thought my dr.prescribed meds would lead to addition.
I am a muddle of feeling right now, and they are all not-so-great feelings. How did I end up here?

Y'all are the best. THE BEST.
I see a weak ray of hope, now...
