Thanks for the nice messages that you sent me. I had a great day at program today,it went well. I also met with my therapist today,something she said to me,got me upset,she was more worry how I did the SI and where I did it at program,the bathrooom,then the injuring it self,if that makes any Sense to anyone.She will be on vacation next week,so I will not be seeing her,and there is no one else I can talk to,cause it is a support therapy at program. Then I came home and took a nap,cause I was tired,then my boy-friend came over and we went out for awhile,cause I needed to get out of this apartment.He just left to go home and get some sleep,and I will be going to bed real soon. My parents are leaving for West Viginaia,if I spell that right,today,and they will be back Sun,need time away from them. I am doing alright,no SI today,that is great.I am hanging in there and doing the best I can. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will take care of myself. I will be back on the bus tomorrow sometime :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.

Thanks for the nice messages,you are a nice person. I had a great time visiting my friends,and when I got home,I went to bed. I had a great night sleep,no SI last night. My parents are coming home today. I had some stuff to do around here,mainly pick up the apartment.It needs it. I have a feeling that I will know sometime soon,when I will be moving,cause they are almost done with the apartments,that I will be moving in to. I will let everyone know when I get the 30 days notice. They are fixing up all the apartments here. I am hanging in here and doing the best I can. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be alright. I will be back on the bus later on. :bcatsmile:

I had a great day at program today,and everything went great. I did not see my therapist today,cause she is on vacation for the whole week. I came home and took a nap,cause I was soo tired out,then when I woke up my boy-friend came over. I did not write in my journal tonight,cause I was tired and when I woke up,I did not feel like it. I will have more time tomorrow to write,cause it is my day off. I am doing alright so far,and no SI so far,it has not been easy at all. We are watching t.v.,and relaxing. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I am feeling pretty good so far,maybe just a little bit anxious,but I will be alright,if not I will be back on here later. I am taking care of myself. Be back later on. :bcatsmile:

I am cleaning my apartment now,and when I am done,I will do things that are positive for me,like writing in my journal and other stuff that I want to do. I feel alright this morning,just not awake yet. My nurse and case-manager will be over later on sometime,but I will have plenty of time to do what I want to do. I am hanging in there. I will be back on the bus later on. :bcatsmile:

I had a busy day so far. I took a nap for awhile,starting writing in my journal,and then my nurse came over and did my medication,then I fell back to sleep after he left,then my case-manager came over we had a great talk,then I cooked myself dinner and did the dishes. Then I finish my journal and watching t.v.,till my boy-friend gets here. I am doing alright and I had a good day so far. I have not done any SI since the 3rd of this month,that is pretty good. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing.When my boy-friend gets here,we are going out to visit some friends for awhile,and I am not sure when I will be home. I am doing alright. I am taking care of myself. I have day treatment program tomorrow,looking foward to it. I will be alright. I will be back on the bus later on sometime :bcatsmile:

I had a great time visiting friends tonight. My boy-friend went home to get some sleep,and I will be going to bed real soon. I was starting to feel anxious earlier after he left,and I wanted to do SI real bad,but instead of doing that,I started to rip up paper to get rid of the anxiety that I was feeling,feel somewhat better now. I am hanging in there and doing the best I can.Once I get to bed and relax,I will feel alot better. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. After day treatment program,I have a doctor's appointment to get my eyes checked,then I will be home. I will probably take a nap after that. I will be just fine. I will be back on the bus tomorrow in the eveing time. Hanging in there. :bcatsmile:

I had a great day at program and enjoy myself. I went to see my eye doctor also,and I need new frames,for my eyes,cause I have problems seeing close up and far away,it will be awhile before they come in,so it will be hard to read,but I am glad that I had them done. This Friday I see the dentist,getting my appointment done and taking care of myself. I am not sure what I am doing tonight,but I will find out when my boy-friend gets here. No SI last night,great!!!!!!! I am not sure if I will get a chance to write in my journal,but I have other coping skills to use. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I am hanging in there. taking care of myself. Be back on later on. :bcatsmile:
