I am doing alright. I had a great night with my boy-friend and we went out for awhile.Now we are watching t.v.,and relaxing. After he leaves I will be going to bed,cause I have to get up early to go to program,cause I have to see my doctor. I will be leaving at 11:30 to come home and then my case-manager will be over at 2pm. I am feeling pretty good. NO SI tonight and that is great. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I had a great day today. I will 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 went to program today,cause I had to see the doctor and I made out just fine. Then when I got home I took a walk and it was very nice outside. Now I am going to relax and do positive things for myself. My case-manager will be over around 2pm. I am feeling pretty good. My boy-friend will be over later on. NO SI so far and that is great. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be just fine. Be back on later. taking care of myself. :bcatsmile:

I read my favorite books, my favorite parts and stuff, cuz then I can escape into the characters instead of into SIing. But i have to be able to convince myself not to cut first

I am doing alright. I had a great day at program and a good talk with my therapist. She told me that I am doing great with my self-harm issues,that she thinks that I can handle seeing her once a week. That is great but I am nervous as well. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. NO SI so far and that is great. I am going to relax till my boy-friend gets here. I will be just fine. Be back on later. taking care of myself :bcatsmile: .

I am doing alright. I wrote in my journal and then I took a nap. Both of those coping skills helped me alot. I am going to get things done,before my boy-friend gets here. NO SI so far,even though the thougts are still strong,I distract myself. That is great. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be just fine. Be back on later.taking care of myself :bcatsmile:
