I am doing alright. I had a great day and I kept myself busy. I took a nap for awhile and then my boy-friend came over,we just watch t.v. He just left to go home and get some sleep. I will be doing the samething soon. I am feeling pretty good and I have been using my coping skills. NO SI tonight and that is great. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be just fine. Be back on sometime tomorrow. 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. I did not have a good night,but I did not do any SI and that is great. I am writing in my journal and it is helping me alot. My friend and I are going out for lunch later,so that will be great. My boy-friend will be here later on. I am feeling alright,just mainly frustrated and depressed,but otherwise I will be ok. I just wanted to let eveyone know how I am doing. I am hanging in there. Be back on later on. :bcatsmile:
