i reacted to something a friend said that was unfair towards me and ended up defusing the situation. usually i wouldn't have said anything in case it made things worse.

I didnt have a piece of cake. I really wanted one, someone brought in a lovely looking cake to work today, but i know that i would have felt fat and ugly after having it, so i wanted to resist. And i did!

I went out with a new friend yesterday and things went well! :)

And this morning I'm going somewhere where there is a big crowd and that makes me feel terrified, but I'm going to go anyway because it is important to me, even if I have to take a PRN of clonazapam.

because yesterday I wanted to go to the walk-in clinic like I always do to get my migraine meds (because I don't have a doc) and the triage nurse treated me like some addict or something and sent me to emerg and I almost didn't get my meds, I had to basically prove to the doctor that I wasn't a drug addict and never was, and he hardly gave me enough, just maybe for a week!

I proud of myself for not losing control and getting angry at the nurse or doc because of the way they treated me, esp the nurse! :(

I picked up a "day shift" at work, despite hating to work during the day... I picked up the shift so I could be there when my supervisor would be there :) I also confirmed my apppointment with my supervisor for Monday. (Yes, these are GOOD THINGS)...
