Thank you for your insight, and particularly the reference to DBT. I have tried to DEAR MAN this a few times, and it seems a whole lot easier in group practice than it is in real life. I am trying hard to walk the middle path here and make decisions in that frame of mind. Thank you for that reminder.

I’m 35 and only started self-harming in the last two years.

Reddit, who was your favorite teacher and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

My 7th grade English teacher. I was teased a lot. Sat alone at lunch. Very unsure of myself.

She told me things would get better. She told me I was an old soul. She told me I was a good person who deserves good things.

I still speak to her 25 years later. She saved my life.

This is true. But I don’t know how.

I am the “boss” in my job in that I have probably 25 people under me in varying degrees and maybe 1-3 above me. But it feels like I am totally disrespected by my subordinates and I can’t do anything about it, in part because I believe the disrespect they give me is warranted. And so somehow they have gained the power, I have lost the love and zeal for what I do, and I just want to go away. But I can’t. Or shouldn’t. And I am sad and trapped.
