Hey guys, 

Just wanted to post something slightly positive. 

Today I was trying to drive my friend home as a favour. He had been giving me attitude for the whole afternoon because he was in a mood (not caused by me, shocker, I know and I handled that well, no attitude back and no rage) and then I reversed and the door hit the side of my carport and completely bent it. 

I rely on my car, for therapy and for going to work, so it is a big hassle.  I can’t currently to hold down a full time job, but I do work part time. I’m not able to afford to fix it.

I did swear and get angry but I called my dad and chatted to him and calmed down. I didn’t even rage as badly as I would’ve in the past. I accepted that it’s happened and I can’t change it and I will have to work on a solution. 

I’m upset but I’m not reacting in a way that doesn’t fit the situation. 

I’m proud. It goes to show that DBT is really working.
