I'm sorry, this blog always seems to talk about my therapy.  I think that is because that is what tends to be on my mind pretty much on a daily basis.  Last week in therapy we talked about stress and ways that I handle stress.  I openly admitted to Jade that I picked and pulled.  He said that he didn't consider that to be self-harm unless it made you feel better.  It does for me.  It gives me some control in a world that is spinning out of control.  We found out that my kidneys are suffering from my medication and also my calcium issues.  So, once again my medication has been switched.  I will admit, last night I was feeling pretty down.  I was a little freaked out about another medication, my kidney function, my therapy homework, and just life in general.  I called UNI and they talked me thru the situation.  I have a couple more days until my next session with Jade but I have been reeling thru the homework all week.  This week it is what causes me stress and how I deal with each particular situation.  Let's see, I have financial stress, I eat chocolate.  I have marital stress, I pull my hair out.  I have health stress, I eat chocolate (which then makes me feel worse then I don't eat).  My homework causes me stress, I pull my hair.
