Deneb,
think about how much fun it will be to go to California, and how excited you'll feel to meet new Psycho-Babblers.You are doing brave things. Keep yourself safe, and keep yourself busy.
One thing I found that helps me is that I promise to myself- I'm going to be safe until noon. Then- I'm going to be safe until 1pm. Then- I can do this. I promise to myself to be safe until 2pm. then 3pm.
When you can't make those promises anymore, you have to get someone to help you. That person can be your mom, your pdoc, a crisis counselor, or a doctor, or even the ER staff.
I think you can do this. I have a good feeling that you can do this.
If you need to think of more good things, maybe you can go back to your photo album from your trip to the APA conference. Or your photos from your camping/NYC trip with your friends.
You don't have to be *perfect*, 'cause your good enough already. But you do have to keep Deneb* safe. I'm awfully fond of her and I don't want anything bad to happen to her, okay?
Thank you for trying so hard.
your friend,
Ll
