I am doing better since the last time I wrote. I already wrote in my journal and it helped me alot,then I took a nap,which I needed. My boy-friend is over and we are watching t.v., and we are going out later on. I did not do any SI so far,and that is great. I will be just fine. I needed to vent the last time I wrote. I am going to be alright. I feel better,but still feel slighty a bit depressed. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. hanging in there and taking care of myself. Be back on later :bcatsmile:

I am doing alright. My boy-friend and I went out for awhile,so I can get out of the apartment. We are watching a movie on Lifetime Movie Network,it is a good movie,can not remember the name,sorry. I have not done any SI so far,and that is good. I have cleaning to do tomorrow,my case-manager is coming over,and then later my nurse is coming over to do my medication. I have the day off tomorrow. I am hanging in there and taking care of myself. I will be just fine. I will be back on before I go to bed :bcatsmile:

I had a good day at program today,and the groups went great. I had a great talk with my therapist,we change my schedule around,so instead of going Mon,Wed,Thursday,I will be going Tuesday,Wed,and Thursday. I needed a change,and there will be new groups as well. I am writing in my journal and then I am going to take it easy,till my boy-friend gets here. I am feeling pretty good today. No SI so far,that is great. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be back on the bus later :bcatsmile: The new changes in my days will not start till Nov.12th.
