Tracking Substance Abuse

Well the good news is that my DBT Therapist and I were able to cross People Pleasing Behavior off my list of target behaviors
However, we are adding the tracking of both prescription and nonprescription drug use. With Marijuana still remaining it's own target behavior.
My therapist really feels that this mind set I have of trying to fix my woes with substances is really hindering my recovery.
I stopped taking the medication Buspar (Buspirone) a few days after starting it, as I feel it was making things worse.
Lexapro (Escitalopram) 20 MG and Abilify (Aripiprizole) 2 MG seems to be the best medications for me at this point.
As for self harm, I had a run of that about a month ago after having not done so for 6 months, but have been good since.
I'm also starting to feel the suicidal thoughts fade now that I've admited to my therapist what I tried to do in regards to the passive suicide atemps.
If you're still reading, I appreciate it. I hope all of you guys are feeling ok and staying safe.
Love,
MRG

This sounds positive. Hope you will keep sharing on this.

I am not on meds, although my dr has suggested that I consider them. But until the past 2 months, i have been a regular marijuana smoker for the past 5-6 years, so I am interested in hearing what your therapist has to say about this.

My therapist isn't against weed smoking. He's just against weed as an emotion regulation method.
