i had a good lesson at school today.
i ate all my lunch.
i was able to comfort my friends.
i came on here to calm down instead of lashing out.
i managed to calm down without trigging myself majorly (i mean the thought always crosses my mind but...............)
i smiled.

xxxxxxxx

I was very honest with my T and am ready to face and deal with certain things. I canceled my next appointments with my psych and am switching med care to either my pdoc or the nurse practitioner my T recommended.

Twice now, I really really wanted to SI, but I didn’t. I thought of how people would be proud of me, I was proud of myself, but no one else cared. No one else even knew, so it didn’t matter much.

Tonight I realized that I was proud of what I didn’t do. Proud, not angry or mad. I didn’t hate myself, I was proud.

Then I thought of how this is my war, not anyone else’s. Battles are won and lost because of my actions. Tonight, I won my battle.

Um, this is hard...I didn't buy more cigarettes today and I went on a walk with a friend at night, I haven't SIed or anything also today and I cleaned the kitchen (though there's so much that I'm not proud of).

im proud of myself for socializing

Lots of reasons to be proud of myself today:

I went to work

I socialised. I talked to nine people who weren't SD today, which is pretty huge

I took my vitamins

I took a packed lunch to work instead of buying something unhealthy

I acknowledged that even though I love Criminal Minds, the ep playing tonight is severely triggering to me, and I walked away even though normally when I'm like this I'd let myself be triggered.

I got SD to dye my hair last night as I feel better when it's black and red, and tried hard to look nice but still be comfortable at a work function

I tried hard to smile and be more expressive

I ate three times today, which is amazing.

I drank water, not just coffee and coke

I typed up a table of small, easy to accomplish daily tasks that take care of me, like having a shower daily and remembering to eat, and am trying really hard to do as many as I can. 16 so far today, but likely 17 all up!

I didn't say sorry for anything that wasn't my fault, nor assign blame to me when I didn't do anything wrong. I don't think I felt guilty for anything other than snarking at SD because I was tired.

I asked instead of sitting feeling paranoid, which is hard but ultimately less stressful than letting myself come up with theories about why my boss hates me (he doesn't, he's just having issues delegating work to me)

I had a good day at placement and I was asssertive and I used good judgement in bringing the kids in when it was starting to get too hot to be outside and the first thing I did when we got inside was make sure that everyone had some water to drink to rehydrate, and that included rehydrating myself too.

I used my coping skills I learned in IP.

I let myself cry but not get out of control. I identified my distorted thoughts. I used deep breathing. I stayed in the moment.

I used healthy coping skills instead of SI and I do not have an urge as much as I did

someone said i had lovely eyes and she said not to worry if i caught her staring at me but I stood up for myself and said that was very triggering for me so I would rather she didnt. She was polite and said she wouldnt do that if it made me uncomfortable and I felt better.
