Sonya, You made a mistake by firing me and you will regret it. You know you made a mistake but you fired me out of fear - fear of yourself... because you knew you couldn't handle the underlying issues behind what was causing so much trouble at your precious little call center. The problem hasn't bee...

I wish that I get the job I interviewed for this afternoon.

I'm awesome because I had a job interview today that went well, even though I don't know if I got the job or not - it still went awesome, which makes me feel AWESOME!

I didn't want to risk bleeding through my white shirts at work the next day.

There is a fine line in dealing with those who self-injure, as we both know... and if a therapist doesn't take "enough action", it can make the situation worse. Counselors are not there to encourage the behavior, they are they there to reduce and eventually help eliminate the behavior all together -...

What did they recommend you do now? Did they leave you out in the cold or did they give you any place to follow up? Sorry to hear they could not handle your case... just remember that not all therapists are able to handle self-injury or more severe cases of self-injury and or suicide issues. This do...

- I didn't mouth off when a coworker pissed me off at work!

- I got a good portion done on one of my blocks for a competition afghan.

I have worked in mental health before while I was active with SI. It was ackward and uncomfortable. I felt like I was living a lie. In mental health, it isn't about you - it is about them - but I could just feel that some of the patients/ clients could see straight through me... they just knew... an...

I have dozens of play lists and each one is for a different mood or purpose - even though many of the same songs are on different playlists I suppose the combination of songs is what either relaxes me or hypes me up.

Lisa,
I know how you are feeling to some degree because I have started hurting myself again, which was the real reason I couldn't bring myself to go swimming last week.

- That I FINALLY have a meeting scheduled with my supervisor for next week. I look forward to being able to vent to her about what all has been going on while she has been out sick and hopefully get some helpful feedback and or solutions.

Okay, I didn't see one for this forum... so I thought I would take a chance and start a topic for in here :) One important thing related to coping healthfully is to point out the "positive" things going on in our lives right now. This is the place to post it! Share anything positive going on right n...

Keep your hands busy. I tend to take out anger on myself USING my hands, so I have found that if I can keep my hands busy doing something positive... this helps to get the energy out with a physical result. I know you are a guy, but have you considered something like knitting or crochet? What about ...

I picked up a "day shift" at work, despite hating to work during the day... I picked up the shift so I could be there when my supervisor would be there I also confirmed my apppointment with my supervisor for Monday. (Yes, these are GOOD THINGS)...

I like to listen to Contemporary Christian Music... here are some of the songs I listen to when I'm trying to calm down/ relax/ get into a better frame of mind: "Bless the Broken Road" - Selah "When the Saints" - Sara Groves "History" - Matthew West "When He Ran to Me" - can't remember the artist......

*I wish I had more self-confidence.
*I wish my supervisor weren't so sick that she needed to have surgery next week.

Throw away your scale or give it to someone you trust, who lets you "borrow it". You will know when you are gaining or losing too fast based on how you feel and how your clothes fit. The more I obsess over the scale, the more I gain.

I'm awesome today because I got complimented on my excellent hygene when I went to the hygenist this morning for my quarterly cleaning! I'm in braces and it is awesome to get complimented for having clean teeth, despite having a powerchain and bite turbos
