I am proud of myself today because I talked to Mr. C.. and was able to tell him about a couple things.. and did not punch the person who basically backed me into the conversation..
Music is life.. we each have our own symphony.. and we control it for the most part.. sometimes instruments drop out.. and others join in.. but when the music fades and the symphony is done.. then we have created a beautiful, personal piece. - Me.

Way to go, Dani!
I am proud of myself because yesterday when my cousin asked if I was ok I was honest and admitted that I wanted to SI.
I am also proud of myself because I was dissociating and feeling terribly triggered last night, and instead of SIing I forced myself through almost every activity in my safety box until the urges lessened and I was tired enough to sleep. I kept myself safe.
Love,
Stevie

In Which Something Oooh Occurred
And it felt like a winter machine that you go through and then you catch your breath and winter starts again, and everyone else was springbound. And when I chose to live, there was no joy, it's just a line I crossed. I wasn't worth the pain my death would cost, so I was not lost or found....But when you live in a world, well, it gets in to who you th ought you'd be. And now I laugh at how the world changed me. I think life chose me after all.

I made one week SI free, which was very very hard for me because of a death in the family and having so many people staying in my house.

I'm proud of myself for going to my doctor's appointment today, and telling her about feeling depressed more since I stopped drinking. Even if she misunderstood me and thought I'd just been feeling a little blue, and didn't follow up on what I said at all. It was hard to mention it, and I did, so even if it didn't do any good, I can still feel proud of myself, right?
I'm also proud that I made it to work today, even though I haven't been feeling good (again, the depression).

I'm proud of myself that I was able to make it through the school day instead of skipping out at the end like I wanted to.

I'm proud of myself for making another day without self-harm, even though it wasn't easy. I'm also proud of myself for doing things to take care of myself, like eating a salad, and having fruit (unsweetened blueberries with canned milk) for dessert. I'm proud that I'm fighting the depression, and not just giving in.
