No DBT tonight

Posted in Group:

I got to the facility where I go to DBT and saw the white board in front of reception said '"Lisa and Jeanie' 5:30 class cancelled"I was there at 4:45. My daughter had dropped me off instead of taking the bus. Fortunately she got a text and had not left yet. When we got home I found a message on the answering machine that came at 4:46 saying "your DBT class is cancelled and we will let you know (what started to sound like if and then a pause) when you have class again." I am glad I had not taken the bus as was originally planned for me only to have to leave and wait an hour for the next bus. I am worried that the message may mean that this module is cancelled. Some times when a class dwindles to too small they cancel it but this class was big, too big to have tables in the room.
I left a message for my therapist but I still keep worrying about it.

Hi tools

I really hope that your class continues. Are you able to call them tomorrow and find out what is happening? If the class does get cancelled, is there somewhere else you can go?

Keep strong tools and try not to worry about the "what ifs" as it may not happen. I know, easier said than done You done the right thing ringing your therapist

I found out that last night's class was cancelled because the room was supposedly too hot. The week before when some people thought it was too hot I thought it was almost warm enough. Now I am even more frustrated about it being cancelled.

That's a strange excuse. Could they not have opened a few windows? I would prefer it too hot than too cold!! Please try not to get too frustrated by it... at least you know that they are still running the course, right?

At my anxiety class today I brought up how the message made me feel. The instructor commented that yes their heating/air system has issues but he had never heard of a class being canceled because of it.

Class was cancelled again last night. I am very frustrated about it. I am not feeling motivated to do what would have been the homework. Also I hurt myself last night.

Hi tools,
Aww, it's got to be frustrating that your class keeps getting canceled. I wish there was a DBT class I could go to around here in Delaware. For now I am just doing self work and also I am part of an online yahoo groups DBT group. Let me know if you're interested in the address for it. It is helpful. Love to you!

self-love can heal you
you are worth it!!!
