I am doing alright. I am watching t.v.,with my boy-friend and we are having a good time. After he leaves I will be going to bed,cause I have to get up early for program. NO SI tonight and that is great. I have to see my therapist also tomorrow. I am feeling pretty good,just frustrated with the fact that I cannot write yet,I am just hanging in there. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be just fine. Be back on sometime tomorrow after program. taking care of myself :bcatsmile:
I am in a dark place like a turtle afraid to deal with the pain that I do not want to feel,but eventually I will slowly face my pain,like the turtle when he comes out of his shell.

I am doing alright. I am slightly depressed due to everything that is going on,but I will be alright. I took myself out for dinner and that helped me feel somewhat better. NO SI so far and that is great. I am just waiting for my boy-friend to come over,not sure what we are going to do. I will be just fine. I am working on a puzzle right now,so that is keeping myself busy. I am taking care of myself. Be back on later :bcatsmile:

I have to see my family doctor this Friday and see what he says about my wrist. My boy-friend and I went to visit some friends last night and we had a great time. NO SI so far and that is great. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing.I will be just fine. Be back on later.taking care of myself :bcatsmile:

I am doing alright. I got my cleaning done and then I did other things around my apartment. Then my nurse came over and did my medications,he said it will take awhile longer for my wrist to heal. There is nothing I can do about it till I see my doctor Friday. NO SI so far and that is great. I am waiting for my boy-friend to come over,not sure what we are going to do tonight. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be just fine. Be back on later.taking care of myself :bcatsmile:

Hi candy,

I hope you are doing well tonight. I joined Bus last year but havent really needed it until now. Or rather gotten up the nerve to talk to anyone.
I have been dealing with some sort of mental disorder since I was very young, but it hasnt been until this year that I got up the courage to get help. I too suffer from anxeity, Iv had panic attacks in the past as well. They come and go.
im trying to figure out what I have, Im going to have an assessment done soon. I know something is not right with me. My moods are unstable, and can escalate easily. im not sure exactly what it is. I know I have problems with worrying excessively.I think my dr thinks im bipolar, but I have a feeling it could be BPD. I guess i should do more research on it though. But maybe we could talk about it if youre up for it.
Tonight my anxiety built up pretty big, and I kinda freaked out and just need someone to talk to that might understand, or might be able to offer some insight into BPD. none of my friends understand about mental illness. Im feeling very alone.

(im a girl just for the record. in case the name " cornelius" made you feel uncomfortable. I think its always a bit easier for girls to relate.)

Anyways your posts made me hopeful to see that there is someone else out there. Be well and take care.

Thanks. :star:

I will be just fine. Be back on later.taking care of myself :bcatsmile:
