Q1. 09.39 - I am feeling so mentally disconnected from my body how do I reconnect so I can succeed and actually start to get better? How do I care for myself when I have to care for mom clean and cook all by myself? Q2. 15.28 - What is up with these darn dreams man? For example I had a dream about eating juicy watermelon and amazingly sweet and refreshing oranges. I know my eating disorder voice has been strong but do you think it would be getting all up my dreams? Q3. 23.29 - You said everyone’s feelings are valid because they have a cause. But what if you get flashbacks from something that most people around you have experienced? Q4. 31.46 - When I am stressed out, sometimes when I’m home alone I pretend that I am a very small child, or even a baby. These things I do are really not about children, they’re about me. But what if my therapist thinks differently? Q5. 35.08 - C-PTSD vs BPD?!? Q6. 41.50 - Can you talk about sensitivity to interoception and, more specifically, when it relates to hunger / fullness cues? Q7. 48.05 - How does someone do reality testing for delusional thinking? Q8. 58.15 - I am wondering about whether to ask my last therapist to share my patient records with my new therapist. It would save so much time. But, at the same time, I want my new therapist to make her own judgments about who I am and what my issues are. I worry that my new therapist will give too much weight to my last therapist's notes. What do you think? Q9. 59.41 - My question is, is it unusual to not just exchange rolls, (parent/child when taking on the roll of caregiver with your parent) but actually having separation anxiety, and being overprotective when not being able to be with them at any given time and needing to rely on someone else to do the caregiving? Q10. 1.04.26 - My question is that my sister has noticed or has been recognising that I am not comfortable with being comfortable. I always feel that I need to be in a state of distress or something life shattering to live. I’m not sure how to stop being like this? Q11. 1.09.50 - I'm freaking out right now because it's pretty likely that I could have covid. But it's not being sick or anything that is freaking me out but the thought of having to be in quarantine because I struggle with binge eating. Q12. 1.15.07 - I finally have a therapist and got diagnosed with a recurrent depressive disorder on top of my BPD and the therapist suggested I try medication since I've been struggling with this for a couple years now and it's going nowhere. I talked to my psychiatrist and she didn't seem to agree that I would need medication. It immediately triggered some self destructive thoughts, however I find that acting out of spite and to prove someone wrong actually motivates me to do just about anything. Is this a BPD thing? Also, am I overreacting about the psychiatrist? Q13. 1.25.32 - Over the last few years i feel like i have absolutely zero tolerance for small things they continually complain about and don’t do anything to change it. I love being an empath and I feel like I’m losing part of it when it comes to everyday problems and I can just have compassion for bigger problems and traumas. Is this an issue I need to work on? Q14. 1.33.30 - I am waiting for an appointment with a psychiatrist in summer, until then, my general practitioner said I should take 50mg of quetiapine a day. The thing is though, that it makes me incredibly tired. It's getting to a point where I sleep 13 hours a day and am still too tired to really get up. My therapy ends in 9 sessions. My therapist and I are trying to get me into a hospital again for 6-8 weeks in the summer. Q15. 1.44.14 - Something I have always wondered about is why I'm never able to take any sides. I always find myself in the middle. Q16. 1.51.44 - Can you speak about Ketemine therapy? Q17. 1.55.46 - What's the difference between stimming and sensory seeking, where's the line?
