I am currently in the midst of med changes and it’s affecting my mood and self-destructive thoughts/urges. The other day I engaged in behaviours and almost had an ambulance called on me. 

Today I’m feeling the same urges but a little bit less intense. I was able to “catch it” before a full-blown crisis. Instead of acting on urges I followed my dbt crisis plan - did TIP, took lorazepam (as prescribed), got out my coping box and notebook, put on some music, and did some colouring. 

I can’t even remember the last time I was able to cope so well. The night is still young, but right now I’m feeling a bit proud of myself!  \ (•◡•) /
