I am doing pretty good so far. I had a great night sleep. I am cleaning my apartment and after that I am going to do positive things for myself. I also going to write in my journal. I go back to day treatment program tomorrow. I have not heard anything yet about when I am moving but when I do I will let everyone know. I am hanging in there. I will be back on the bus later on. taking care of myself :bcatsmile:

I got alot of things done so far. I cleaned my apartment and then I wrote in my journal,which helped me alot. I took a nap,cause I was soo tired out. I am doing alright,just watching t.v.,and relaxing. I am not sure what I am going to do the rest of the day,but as long as it is positive,that is better. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I am feeling pretty good. I will be back on later. taking care of myself :bcatsmile:

I am doing pretty good so far. I already had dinner and did the dishes. My boy-friend is coming over in a half of hour and we are going out for awhile. I just feel anxious and I do not know why,so I thought going out would help me.I am feeling alot. The groups change today,so I will be not be in many of my groups with my boy-friend,and before the change of the groups we were always together,and I am not comfortable with changes,so that is why I am feeling anxious right now,but I will be alright. NO SI so far,that is great. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I am watching t.v.,and relaxing. I am hanging in there. I will be back on the bus sometime later. :bcatsmile:

I had a nervous morning. I went to the hospital for my test,and I was waiting for a half a hour,and when I asked them what took so long,they told me that I was schedule for a mammangon and a utrasound on my right breast,but when they took me back it was for a utrasound,and they told me not to worry and the doctor who looked at the pictures was not worried,that is what I was told. I am trying to calm down and relax. I am going to be alright. I have my case-manager coming over and then later my friend is taking me out for lunch. I will be just fine. I am going to relax and watch t.v. NO SI last night.I just have to wait till I hear from my doctor,not going to worry till then. I will be back on later. taking care of myself. :bcatsmile:
