I had a great day. I went out to lunch with my friend and had a great time.Then I took a nap,cause I was so tired. I just woke up and my boy-friend is here. I still did not write in my journal for two days,cause there has been so much going on and I will be writing tomorrow for sure. I did not do any SI so far,and that is great. I will be moving into my new apartment the week of the 17th of Dec.,but I do not know my new address or the date that I will be moving. I will let everyone know when I find out. I am hanging in there and doing the best I can. I will always be on the bus. I am going to be alright. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be back on the bus later. taking care of myself :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.

I am doing alright. We went out for awhile and then we came back here to watch t.v. We had a great time. He left to go home and get some sleep,and I will be doing the same thing soon. I am doing pretty good and feeling alright. I did not do any SI tonight and that is great. I will make sure that I will write in my journal tomorrow,cause I feel bad that I did not write in it for two days,so I will have time to do it tomorrow. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I am hanging in there. I am not ready to move a week before Christmas,but there is nothing I can do about it. I will get through it without any problems. I have alot of help. taking care of myself. I will be back on tomorrow sometime :bcatsmile:

I had a great night sleep. I am cleaning out my apartment of things that I do not want anymore before I move. When that is done, I am going to relax and take it easy. I am feeling pretty good and I am doing alright. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will write in my journal later on. I am getting frustrated with all this moving,even more so a week before Christmas. I will be just fine. I will be back on the bus later.taking care myself. :bcatsmile:

I had a rough night last night,I slip with SI,cause of everything that is going on with me,mainly it is the abuse of my mother and father,it is verbal abuse. I just could not handle it anymore,those words they say to me. I have day treatment program today,and I will be talking to my therapist about it. I feel horrbile inside for what happen,but I will be alright. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. The words hurt so much,even though I love them,I hate them for what they do to me. I will take care of myself today. I will be just fine. I will be back on the bus when I get home from program :bcatsmile:

I had a good day at program,but my pulse was a little high,it was 104,so I am trying to relax. My nurse was here to do my medication and he took my pulse. Everything got to me today,my mother,moving and everything else. I wrote in my journal and it helped me alot. I am going to lay down till my boy-friend gets here. I am going to stay away from people that treat me badly for awhile and that is my parents as well. I love them,but not this kind of treatment. I will be just fine. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. taking care of myself. I feel bad about SI last night,but I am hanging in there. I will be back on later. :bcatsmile:

I had a great night sleep,since I raised my Xanax,it was written on the bottle to do so,that is why my nurse increased it. I am getting ready for day treatment program and I am looking forward to going in. After today I am off for Thanksgiving till next Tuesday. I am doing alright and I am hanging in there. I feel bad that no one is posting on my coping thread,but I understand. I am going to enjoy my day. I will be back on later. taking care of myself :bcatsmile:

I just got home from program,I had a so-so day,my nerves are still up and I am having a hard time relaxing. I saw the doctor today,she increased my Xanax to 2 at night and she will see me in 4 weeks. I just hope the medication helpes with the changes,cause I am getting tired of feeling this way.When I see her she will give me new prescritions for my medication,sorry if I did not spell that right. I am going to relax and take it easy,my boy-friend will be here later and we are going out for awhile. NO SI so far.I will be back on later. taking care of myself :bcatsmile:
