I had a great night so far,my boy-friend and I went out for awhile went to Walmart,came back here to watch t.v.,for the night. I am doing alright,just have bad cramps due to my monthly. I did not do any SI today,that is great.I am taking it one step at a time,and so far I am doing good. After my boy-friend leaves I will be going to bed,cause I am tired. I have a busy day tomorrow,but a good one. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I have been using my coping skills and it is helping me alot. I will be just fine. I will be back on the bus tomorrow sometime :bcatsmile:

Hi Candy, that's a horrible feeling, but as you say, you have your boyfriend to help you through. It is so good to have support like that, and it sounds as though he really cares about you. Also, you never know what friends you will make in the future.

Thanks for the nice messages that you sent me. You are right,I wil make new friends down the road. I had a great day today,and day treatment program went well.All day long I kept on coughing and I finally took something for it,it drove me crazy,but I am alright though. I did not write in my journal yesterday,and I am not sure if I will get to it today,cause I need to get some rest. I am going to go and lay down for awhile and take it easy. My boy-friend will be here later on. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be just fine.I will be back on later :bcatsmile:

I took a nap earlier,cause I was so tired out,and I took something for the cough,cause it was driving me nuts. My boy-friend and I are watching a movie and relaxing. I did not write in my journal today,cause I was not feeling well. I did not do any SI so far and that is great. I have day treatment program tomorrow and I am looking forward to it;plus I have to meet with my therapist. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I am hanging in there and taking care of myself. I will be back on the bus later on :bcatsmile:

I have been sleeping most of the day,and I still have not written in my journal,cause of the way that I have been feeling,lousy. I have not done any SI and that is great. I am doing pretty good,just want to feel better. My boy-friend will be over later on,and I am taking it easy.My goal is to write in my journal tomorrow. I will be just fine. I am taking care of myself. Be back on later :bcatsmile:

I did sleep good last night,of course I did not do any SI either,which was great. So I went to my mother's to pick up my laundry and then I took a nap,this cold is really getting to me. I am watching t.v.,but I can't get myself into doing anything,like writing in my journal,cause I feel so worn out. I am going to take it easy and later I will get myself something to eat. My boy-friend will be over later on. I am doing the best I can to enjoy the weekend,but it is hard when I am not feeling well. I am doing alright,and hanging in there.I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be back on later on :bcatsmile:

Thanks for the nice messages that you sent me.I am just relaxing and watching t.v.,with my boy-friend. I did not do any SI today,and I feel great about it. I did not write in my journal today,but I did not feel good,so I could not get in the mood to do anything. I am going to try for tomorrow to write in it. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I am doing alright and feeling so-so. We are going to watch a movie and take it easy. I will be back on later :bcatsmile:

I had a great evening with my boy-friend,he left a while ago to go home and get some sleep I am going there soon,cause I am getting tired. I did slip with SI tonight, I was not feeling anxious or anything,just bored,that does not make any sense at all. I feel real bad about what happen and I am not happy with myself at all. I need to go to bed,where I will feel safe. I feel horrible inside about what happen. I will be back on the bus tomorrow sometime :bcatsmile:

I got alot done so far,I painted my nails,wrote in my journal and then I took a nap. I was trying to focus on the pretty color of the nail polish with my visions and it was not easy to do. I am doing alright otherwise,not feeling good about what happen with SI last night,and it is sore. I am going to be alright,just waiting for my boy-friend to come over and we are going to take it easy,cause I have day treatment program tomorrow. My therapist will not be there,cause she has the day off tomorrow. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I am taking care of myself right now. I will be just fine.Be back later on :bcatsmile:
