How bout "most of the time, but not always" b/c sometimes strikes me as meaning "seldom," and I want to say yes now but not all the time.
*almost* SI-free (7 slips) since August 26/27, 2004 (~2 am on 27th) my place: http://buslist.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php? ... sc&start=0
last slip: about 10pm March 25, 2008
After changes upon changes, we are more or less the same. - Paul Simon
Dreaming permits each and every one of us to be quietly and SAFELY insane every night of our lives. - William Dement. So I guess we should just sleep and be insane THEN instead of hurting ourselves (or anyone else)

I definitely think I can make positive changes in my life. I can't change everything, of course, but I can always make changes to *something*. The capability to do it is always there (even if sometimes I forget ).
Right now, I need to study more to get what I want. Yick.

Positive changes you say?
Ha! I'm soooo on top of that (for possibly the first time ever). What I plan to do this weekend:
1. Finish coping box that includes the following
a. origami paper
b. abridged list of coping mechanisms
c. mix CD of safe songs
d. hand bound book of safe quotes
e. poems and things worth memorizing
f. painter's tape for tying myself up
g. colored pencils (or crayons, whatever catches me in the store)
h. stationary (for writing myself/others letters)
i. sachet of hot chocolate
j. individual dose package of Advil
k. list of art projects I've been meaning to get to
l. any other little kids toys I find in store
m. photocopy from Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind about meditation.
2. Take all tools out of my purse and duct tape them together so it takes a long time to get to them. There is no way I could hunt down everything I've used to SI, but those tools are the most physically dangerous ones, and the only ones I use often.
I would have a longer list, but since number 2 is going to be so hard I'm going to stop with those 2.

With me it's a constant stuggle to be healthy, with my bipolar. So I put sometimes because when I am really sick, I don't care, but when I'm just depressed my goal becomes to feel better and be someone in life.

Is there something you want to change in your life? SI, most importantly, and not so much change things but accomlish dreams.
If so, what's your action plan going to be? Get out there and do my best at everything, and don't give up until I've got what I want. And for SI - try to stay positive and get help when I need it.

I can't control my life. It always seems so out of control. I can't control it at all. How could I be expected to change it?
but it's a lot harder than it looks because even though
they had the same size feet as us, they weren't looking
down the whole time while they walked to make sure
they were doing it right.

i'm done with cutting. i decided that 2 weeks ago and haven't cut since then.
my action plan: i started EMDR in therapy to help with flashbacks of past abuse and other distressing thoughts that make me want to cut. It really seems to be helping, even though I've only done one session thus far.
also, playing with play-dough helps. You can mush it and pound it and beat it and cut it...and it just goes back to its original form when you're done beating it up.

i am trying my best-step by step.
i started going to the gym four times a week since may 2004 so i am doing ok. i am eating better-and losing weight. good.
trying to stay on my medication and trying not to feel the way i do sometimes. anxiety attacks are less frequesnt. i don't hate me, i more or less hate the fact that we are born into a world and a society with constructs that not all fall neatly into. i being one of them. resistance is futile-in one way or another. sigh. be machiavellian or you're skrewed!
i can't commit to much and i have problems making decisions but-i do know that i want to live and that i want to get into a graduate school!
