Thanks for the nice messages that you sent me. It was in the paper this morning about her services,and we are going to it Monday,it starts at 11:00 to 12 noon,so I asked my therapist this morning on the phone if I can take Monday off to go,and she said yes,so I will not be going on Monday to program, I have a copy of the paper for myself. I am taking it easy this morning and doing positive things for myself. I did not do any SI last night,that is great. I am hanging in there and taking care of myself. My boy-friend is going with me on Monday to the services,so I will have his support. Thanks for the nice messages again. I will be just fine. I hope you have a nice day. I will be back on later. :bcatsmile:

I had a good day so far,even though I slept most of the day. I was tired out for some reason. I did not write in my journal today,but I will tomorrow. My boy-friend is coming over at 4pm,cause he wants to take me out for dinner. I am doing alright and feeling pretty good. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be just fine. I will be back on later :bcatsmile: taking care of myself :star:

I had a great evening with my boy-friend,we just watch a movie and took it easy. He left to go home and get some sleep,and I will be going to bed real soon,getting tired. I did not do any SI today and that is great so far. I have laundry to do in the morning and then the rest of the day is mine to do good things for myself. I did not write in my journal today,but I will tomorrow. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I am feeling pretty good. I will be back on the bus sometime tomorrow. taking care of myself :bcatsmile:

Thanks for the nice messages. I am just waiting for my boy-friend to get here,we are going to the services of my friend who passed away. I did not sleep well, I got my days and nights mixed up,I need to get myself back on a regular sleep pattern. My therapist knows that I am not going in to program today. I am doing alright and feeling somewhat nervous,but I will be just fine. I did not do any SI last night,that is great. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be back on the bus later on sometime. :bcatsmile:

I had a great evening with my boy-friend,we watched t.v.,and took it easy. I am doing alright,just feeling depressed lately,whether it has to do with my friend that passed away,which I know it does,but I feel so alone even when my boy-friend is here,I did not tell him,cause I thought it would pass,but it has not. I have no urges to do SI,so that is good. I will be alright,I will let my therapist know what is going on,and my boy-friend as well. I have day treatment program tomorrow and I am looking forward to going. I do not see my therapist till Thursday,but I will be find till then. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be going to bed soon,getting tired. Anyone can Pm if they want,just need a friend right now. I am taking care of myself. I will be just fine. I will be back on the bus sometime tomorrow evening :bcatsmile:
