I went out with my boy-friend to do some shopping and then we went to Wendy's to get something to eat. We are watching t.v.,for awhile and then later we are going out to visit some friends. I am doing alright,just feeling anxious right now,but I will be alright. I have day treatment program tomorrow,so I have to get up early in the morning,but I am looking forward to it. I will be back on the bus before I go to bed. I am taking care of myself. hanging in there :bcatsmile:

I had a great day at program and I had a great talk with my therapist,she wants me to keep track of my panic attacks when I have them,so I can show her and the doctor,which is a great ideal. I am going to write in my journal and then lay down for awhile. My boy-friend will be over later on. My therapist thinks it is because I have not done any SI lately,that the urges are getting to me,and that is what is bring on the panic attacks,we are not sure yet. I will be just fine and feeling anxious,but I will be alright. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I am going to enjoy the rest of my day. I will be back on later :bcatsmile:

I am doing alright,just going to relax with my boy-friend and take it easy. I am soo afraid of having another panic attack,that I do not want to scare myself in to one,but I will be alright. I took a nap after I wrote in my journal and writing in it helped alot. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I did not do any SI so far,and that is great. I will be just fine. taking care of myself. Be back on later :bcatsmile:

I had a great evening with my boy-friend,we watched a good movie and spent a great time together. He went home to get some sleep,and I will be going to bed real soon. I did some coloring and I am going to watch t.v.,for awhile till I go to bed,getting tired. I have cleaning to do here tomorrow and my nurse is coming over to do my medication. I did not do any SI today,that is soooo great. :star: I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I am doing pretty good,and I feel fine. I will be back on the bus tomorrow sometime :bcatsmile:

I had a good day so far. I got my cleaning done,my nurse came over to do my medication container. Then I went out for awhile to get out of the apartment. I am doing pretty good,I feel alright,just feeling somewhat anxious,so I am trying to relax myself and take it easy. I will probably get something to eat and relax,till my boy-friend gets here. I have not done any SI at all,that is great,it is not that easy sometimes. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I am taking care of myself. I will be back on later. :bcatsmile:

Hi Candy, I'm sorry that you're feeling a bit anxious at the moment and I know that it can be hard sometimes. I hope that things get better though, and the rest of your day goes well. Take care.

Thanks for the nice messages that you sent me. I already had dinner,then did the dishes. I know I hate feeling anxious too,but I am coping with it the best way I can. I am hanging in there. My boy-friend will be over soon,I know we are going out,but not sure what we are going to do. I have not done any SI today,that is great. I did not write in my journal today,but I will do it tomorrow. I will be alright. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I hope you have a nice day too. taking care of myself. I will be back on later :bcatsmile:

I had a great day at program today,and the groups went great. I came home and wrote in my journal,and that helped me alot. I am going to lay down afterwards and take it easy till my boy-friend gets here. NO SI at all,wonder if that is why I had a panic attack over the weekend,just glad that I did not do any SI. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I am doing alright,just feeling somewhat anxious,otherwise I am doing good. I am taking care of myself. I will be back on the bus later :bcatsmile: :1_week_si_free: :1_week_si_free:
