I had a good night visiting friends with my boy-friend.I wish I could say the rest of the night went better, I slip again with SI,cause I am having trouble dealing with my emotions and feelings. I still do not feel right since the last time I did SI. I have been busy around the apartment this morning,I defroze my ref,if I spell that word right,and I made out my grocery list for tomorrow.The rest of the day I am going to take care of myself.Anyone have any ideals of a coping skills that I can carry with me all the time,besides the fact that I have low-self-esteem. You are welcome to put it here if you like.I just feel alone and like my nerves are shock from the first time I slip with SI.You are welcome to PM me or post here. I am taking it easy and taking care of myself. Just hate this feeling that I have. I will be alright. Hanging in there. I will be back on the bus later on.
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 got alot done so far. I had dinner and that was good.Then I wrote in my journal,and it helped me alot. I am watching t.v.,and taking it easy till my boy-friend gets here and tomorrow I have to go grocery shopping in the morning. If anyone has any ideals about a coping skills that I can carry with me all the time,please let me know. I am feeling better,more relax than I have been,but I am not letting myself get stressed out at all,cause I do not need it right now. I am going to watch t.v.,and wait till he gets here. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I am hanging in there. I will be back on the bus later

I am doing alright.I took another nap,cause I was soo tired out and then I woke up cause my boy-friend came over. We are watching t.v.,and taking it easy,I am not sure whether we are doing anything tonight,or staying here and relaxing.My mother is getting on my nerves tonight,and she is yelling at me which I do not need,cause I still do not feel 100% better yet,and I want to keep my stress level down. Just a reminder if anyone knows of any coping skills that I carry around with me,when I need it for a Emergency,please let me know. I am hanging in there and doing the best I can.Just having a rough time. I will be back on the bus later.

I am still having a rough time with thoughts of SI,and it is not easy for me. My boy-friend just left to go home and get some sleep,and I will be doing the same real soon. I am hanging in there and doing the best I can. I have grocery shoppping in the morning,and the rest of the day is mine,and I will probably spend most of the day with my boy-friend. I took my medication for the night. I will be alright,just taking care of myself. I will be back on the bus tomorrow.

I'm sorry things are still hard for you. They will get better though, it's only a matter of time. It sounds like you're keeping fairly busy though, that's a good thing to do, because destracting yourself from the urges can be a really good way of getting through them until they pass.
Having a list of coping strategies that you can use in an emergency is a really good idea. You could write them down, and carry them in your handbag or purse. I'll see if I can come up with anything good as well. Take care.

I feel anxious and the thoughts of SI are there,but I am trying to focus on something positive for myself right now,I feel better when I get to bed. I am hanging in there.

I did not do any SI today,and it was very hard for me,but I got through the whole day without doing anything. I am proud of myself for it. I have cleaning to do tomorrow and then my nurse is coming over to do my medication for me.It is a struggle not to do any SI today,but I made it. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be just fine tonight. I am taking care of myself. I will be back on the bus sometime tomorrow
