Dear Katrine Nielsen:

You are very welcome! I hope that you continue to receive empathy and that you will get used to it. I am making progress in this regard myself (accepting empathy instead of treating it with suspicion)!

“when I was regulated I could accept his advances and read between the lines… I have a tendency of jumping to conclusions always in a negative way“- when dysregulated our thinking takes short cuts: bypassing the meaning in between the lines and jumping to conclusions.

“I have never heard about SSRI’s…“- it is a very, very commonly prescribed group of anti-depressants that are also prescribed for OCD. Lots of people are against taking any kind- or most kinds- of psychiatric medications, but lots of people taking the SSRI drugs report much improvement in anxiety, depression and emotional regulation.

Thank you, Katrine, for being as positive and as kind as you are, a pleasure to read from you and to communicate with you!
