I am doing alright. I wrote in my journal and it helped me alot. Then I took a nap,cause I was so tired out. My boy-friend came over and we are watching t.v. and relaxing. NO SI so far,which is good. I am feeling pretty good. I have day treatment program tomorrow and I am looking forward to going in. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be back on the bus later :bcatsmile:

I had a good evening with my boy-friend,we watched t.v,and relax. He went home to get some sleep,and I will be doing the same soon,cause I have to get up early for program. I did not do any SI tonight,and that is great,even though it can be hard sometimes. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I am doing alright and feeling pretty good. I will be just fine. I will be back on the bus sometime tomorrow after program :bcatsmile:

I am doing pretty good so far. I slept good last night and there was no SI either. I am getting ready for program and I am looking forward to going in. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. It has been a week or so without doing any SI and I am proud of myself. :star: I will be back on the bus later on. :bcatsmile:

Hi Candy, a week is great! You're right to be proud of yourself, because it can be hard sometimes. Take care.

I had a great day at program. I met with my therapist also and I found out that my boy-friend met with her without telling me,and he mention something to her about my behavior. I was soo hurt and crying,cause he could of come to me and told me himself,but he did not. I know that he was trying to help or he did not know how to tell me. I just wish that he would of told me,instead of her,cause I am going out with him. I am not mad at him,I am just hurt. I could understand if it was serious,but it was not. I feel horrible inside and I hope he does not do it again. It bothered me. I am going to be ok.I need time for myself before he gets here. I am going to be alright. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am feeling.NO SI so far, I will be going back to program on Tuesday,Wed,Thurs,cause I changed my schedule,cause the groups changed. I am going to relax and take care of myself. I will be fine. Be back later on. :bcatsmile:

I am doing alright. I had a great evening with my boy-friend,we went out for awhile to visit some friends. I had a long talk with my boy-friend and we worked things out. My therapist made me feel horrible inside today when we had our talk,she made me feel like I was a lousy person,due to my illness. I need to work this out with her. I am soo tired still from the crying that I did. I did not do any SI tonight and that was not easy at all. I am glad that I did not do anything to harm myself. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I am going to watch t.v.for awhile and go to bed,cause I am tired. I will be back on tomorrow sometime. taking care of myself :bcatsmile:

I am doing alright. I just took a nap,cause I was soo tired out and I needed some sleep. My boy-friend will be over around 3:30,and we are going out for awhile and then he is taking me out for dinner,not sure where. I am feeling pretty good. I will be writing in my journal and relaxing for awhile.

I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be back on the bus later. taking care of myself :bcatsmile:
