thirsty. get lemonade!

Hey Britt. I am sorry things are hard right now. Being tired is just so difficult. It really lowers one's defenses. What do you think about in the future trying to take a nap before you hurt yourself? It might not stop you every time, but maybe sometimes it would make a difference. It wouldn't even ...

I'm glad to hear that you are taking care of yourself, Candy. Happy holidays.

Would it help to reiterate for yourself that you really are in control? Because while it may feel like some outside force is controlling your actions, ultimately you are still making your choices.

It sounds like a tough situation though.

I am so happy to hear that you didn't end up hurting yourself. I hope the relaxation CDs prove to be useful for you.

Wait 30 minutes. Thats all I commit to today.

That's really good. It's best to start where you are. I hope things get better for you.

Hi Diane. I am sorry things are so difficult right now. You do have a lot of stressful things going on all at once and it must be very difficult to deal with. Are there nice things you can do to take extra good care of yourself right now? You don't deserve to be hurt, you deserve good things. Are yo...

Thing...

I feel like no one wants to hear about it anymore.

I'm a little bit angry with T for not calling me, it makes me feel like he doesn't care. Does T have a pattern of not calling/acting like he doesn't care? Or does it just feel in the moment like he doesn't care, but when you look objectively at the evidence, he probably does care? I guess what I am...

I am OBSESSED with mandalas. I was so excited to see this thread. Yours is beautiful, Roxi.

That's a really good list, Becky. You have some of my favorites on there. I really enjoy coloring. I like coloring mandalas and butterflies. If you are interested, I can send you some sites with printable coloring pages.

Glad you're doing well today. I hope work goes okay.

How are you doing today?

This is an awesome thread.

I am awesome because I have very diverse interests.

I am sorry things are so rough right now. I am really impressed though by how you were able to answer these questions so constructively. I really like the idea of posting your coping methods in your room. I've found that really effective in the past. Given that things are so difficult right now, do ...
