I had a great time with my boy-friend,he just left to go home and get some sleep,and I am going to be doing the same thing soon,cause I am getting tired myself.I already took my medication for the night. I just have the dentist tomorrow at 11:30,and the rest of the day is mine to enjoy,and I will be writing in my journal as well. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I am doing alright,and I am feeling just fine. I have not done any SI today,that is soo great.I am going to have a great night sleep. I will be back on the bus sometime tomorrow. taking care of myself :bcatsmile: :1_week_si_free: :1_week_si_free:
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 had a great night sleep,and I am getting ready to go to the dentist at 11:30 to get a tooth fixed. Afterwards I am going to write in my journal and do things that are positive for me today. I am feeling pretty good and my moods are stable. I did not do any SI last night,and that is sooo great,it has not been easy for me either. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I am doing alright. I will be back on the bus later.taking care of myself :bcatsmile: :1_week_si_free: :1_week_si_free:

After he leaves, I will be going to bed,cause I have to get up early to do laundry at my mother's house. I am feeling pretty good. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I did not do any SI today,and that is soo great. I will be just fine. After I do laundry I am going to do things that are positive for me. I am taking care of myself.

Hi Candy, sorry for not being around much. I have moved to a new apartment and I'm having problems with the internet. Three weeks si free! You should be so proud of yourself, that's a really great achievement. I'm glad you're taking care of yourself.

I went to my mother's house this morning and did my laundry,we got along fine. I have things to do around here,and my boy-friend will be over later on. Thanks for the nice messages that you sent me,yes three weeks is great for not doing any SI,but the bad news is that I slip with SI last nigh,there has been so many problems with friendship lately,and things were building up to much for me,that I could not handle it anymore. I do not feel proud of myself for slipping with SI,but I am proud of myself for making it for three weeks,I just have to keep trying again,and eventually I will stop,I just feel bad about the fact that I slip,but I felt no pain for the past couple of weeks and I needed to feel somthing. I hope you are not upset with me,in anyway. I been having so many problems with friendship lately,it is hard to make friends,and I pick out the wrong type of friends,I feel lonely right now. I will take extra care of myself today. I do feel guilty inside.Please do not be mad at me. I will be just fine. I am hanging in there. I will be back on the bus later :(

Hi Candy, sorry things are a bit rough at the moment. Of course I'm not mad, no one on bus would be mad at all. It's about doing what you can, when you can, and to have a supportive place to come to no matter what stage you are at. I have been where you are, and I know that trying to stop is really hard sometimes. And you always have that three weeks. Take care of yourself.
