I am sorry that you are having a difficult time,and I am having a rough time also. Beisdes my friend passing away,I am having a rough time with depression and other negative behaviors,that are SI,but I will talk to my therapist about it tomorrow.I have a great day at program today and it went great. I have a few things to do,and then I will lay down for awhile.My boy-friend will be over later and we are going out for awhile. I hope you are going to be alright and I am here for you. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I am hanging in there and taking care of myself. I will be back on later :bcatsmile:
I am in a dark place like a turtle afraid to deal with the pain that I do not want to feel,but eventually I will slowly face my pain,like the turtle when he comes out of his shell.

To find yourself,think of yourself first.

I took a nap for awhile and then my boy-friend came over,then we went out for awhile. We are watching t.v.,and taking it easy. After he leaves I will be going to bed. I did not do any SI today,and that is great. I have day treatment program tomorrow and then I see my therapist,I will let her know how I am doing. I did not write in my journal today,but I will write in it tomorrow. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I am feeling alright. I feel safe as well. I am going to take care of myself. I will be back on the bus sometime tomorrow evening. hanging in there :bcatsmile:

I had a great day at program,and I had a good talk with my therapist,she helped me alot to understand why my behavior is acting the way it is. I am feeling pretty good and taking it easy. I am going to write in my journal to get things out that are bothering me. I am doing alright. I have a doctor appts in the morning and my friend is taking me out for lunch in the afternoon,meaning tomorrow. After I write in my journal I am going to lay down for awhile till my boy-friend gets here. I am taking care of myself. Be back on later :bcatsmile:

When I got things done around here,I wrote in my journal,and it helped me alot. Then I took a nap,and my boy-friend came over,we are watching t.v.,and taking it easy. I have to go to the doctor's in the morning and then in the afternoon,I am going out to lunch with my friend. I have not done any SI so far,and that is great. I am taking it easy and relaxing. I feel pretty good so far. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be back on the bus later. :bcatsmile:

It was a scary movie,cause there are times that we liked to watch them,so I can be close to my boy-friend. It was the new movie Carrie that came out,we also like funny movies and Walt Disney movies as well. Thanks for asking me. It was good,not that scary either. have a good night. Be back tomorrow :bcatsmile:

My boy-friend will be over later,and we might go out tonight,not sure. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be fine and I am taking care of myself.I do not know why I am not sleeping well,but it does get to me. I will be just fine. I will be back on later :bcatsmile:

I took a nap,cause I was so tired. I did not write in my journal today,but I am going to try so,if not I will write in it tomorrow,after I get home from day treatment. I am doing better,just have cramps,due to my period. My moods are more stable now,than they were yesterday,cause I was not doing so great,due to my mother's abuse,so I feel better now. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. NO SI so far,that is great. Weekends are hard for me,and so are nights. I am going to take it easy,and take care of myself. I am going to watch t.v.,and write now,cause I need to. My boy-friend will be over later on. I will be back on later. :bcatsmile:
