I am just having a real hard time getting myself to go to bed,my nerves and stress is getting to me. I already took my medicaton,it just takes time for them to start to work and to feel tired. I feel alot better to be posting here and venting how I am feeling,then do SI,so that is a positive thing. I am watching Lifetime and keeping my mind focus on what is positive then think about what bad feelings that I am feeling. I hope everyone has a great night and I will be alright. I will keep myself safe. I will be back on the bus tomorrow.

I have been cleaning my apartment and I am almost done. I am feeling worn out and mentally,emotionally drain,I am not sure what is causing it,whether it is my boy-friend who has been in the hospital so much,or I am stressed out,please do not get me wrong I love him alot,but it is like I am taking care of him more than myself sometimes. I am going to enjoy the rest of the day and do what is best for me.I am soo tired out. I have not done any SI lately,and it has been hard for me,it has not been easy either. I have more stuff to get done around here,but I will be back on later on.taking it easy

I had a busy day today. I went to program and had a great time,the groups helped me alot. I came home and took a nap,I was so tired out. My boy-friend is out of the hospital,and I hope he stays well,so he does not go back in. I am watching t.v.,and relaxing, I feel bad that I have not written in my journal lately,but I just have not been feeling like it. I have not done any SI and it has been hard for me,but I am proud of myself for it. Besides that I am doing alright.I learned about stress and how it affects people physically,and I have learned alot.I am hanging in there and doing the best I can. I will be back on the bus later on,promise

I am doing alright,just feeling kind of anxious right now,but I will be alright. My boy-friend just left,he got out of the hospital today,and he did not stay long,cause he needs his rest,which I do understand. I am sitting here watching t.v.,and I wrote in my journal,which was not easy for me,cause I wrote about how I was feeling and it was sooo hard for me,but I did it. I feel better afterwards,which was causing my anxiety,by writing what was bothering me. I am going to watch t.v., for awhile,take my medication and go to bed. I have program tomorrow and I know that I need to go,just do not feel like it,but I am going to push myself.I will be going to bed real soon,and I will be back on the bus sometime tomorrow,more likely in the eveing. I have not done any SI today and that is a positive thing.GOOD JOB!!!!!! I hope everyone has a great night and I will do the same.

I had a good day today. I went to program and when I came home,I went for a walk and then I took a nap. I am sitting here with my boy-friend watching t.v. Part of the day it was getting rough,cause I started to feel numb and I was trying to stay focus,cause I thought I was going to dissocation,if I spell that right.I hate it when I start feeling like that it was scary feeling for me. I am trying to find a borderline personality disorder support group online,if anyone knows any good ones,please post the e-mail address here.Thanks. I am feeling somewhat better than I did earlier. It was not easy for me to do any SI,but so far I did it,it was scary for me. I am going to watch t.v.,with my boy-friend and I will be back on later,promise.

I am doing alright. My boy-friend just left and I am getting ready for bed. I am starting to get another cold,the weather changes soo much and stress does not help me,meaning worrying about my boy-friend's health. I did not do any SI today and boy it was hard,but I got through it without slipping. I have the day off tomorrow so I am going to sleep in,which I need it.My case-manager is coming over tomorrow and there are things that I need to talk about. I am going to watch t.v.,for awhile and then go to bed and get some rest.I am hanging in there and doing the best I can. I will be back on the bus sometime tomorrow,promise.

Hi Candy, just thought I'd say hi. I hope things are going ok for you. Sorry to hear about your cold, and your boyfriends health, I hope they get better for you soon. Good for you, for not SI-ing, it can be hard. Hope you got a good nights sleep too.
Take care!

I am doing alright,mainly just sleeping all day,cause of the cold. I have not written in my journal yet,and hopefully I will get to it tonight,depends on how I feel. I am going out to dinner with my boy-friend to get out of the apartment for awhile,it is 63 degrees here,and I got a cold,mainly due to the weather. I have not done any SI and it is not been easy for me. I am going to take it easy and take care of myself. I am hanging in there and doing the best I can. Nights are hard for me. I am going to watch t.v.,and take it easy. I will be back on the bus later on,promise

I am sitting here watching t.v.,with my boy-friend and taking it easy. I really did not get anything done today,cause of the cold that I have.I made another day without doing any SI,and it has not been easy for me either,the urges can get real strong.I have to do laundry in the morning,so I have to get up early. I am hanging in there and doing alright. I did not get anything done that I wanted to,but I have not been feeling well at all and I needed time to take care of myself. I will be going to bed after my boy-friend leaves,so I will not be back on the bus till tomorrow sometime,cause I need to get my rest and get over this cold. I hope everyone has a great night and I will do the same.taking care of myself. Be back on tomorrow

Aww, sorry about the cold. Just look after yourself and you should get better soon. Not SI-ing is a positive thing, you're right, so you should feel good about that.

I know that I have not been on all day. I did not go to program today,cause I was not feeling well with this cold. I slept most of the day and the only thing that I did was wash the floors,my boy-friend is back in the hospital for the 5th time,I did not go to see him cause of the cold that I have. I have not done any SI today and I am proud of myself. I feel alot better since I got the cold on Friday. I have not written in my jounral,cause I have not been up to it. I am going to watch t.v., till I go to bed. I am hanging in there and doing the best I can do.taking care of my self. Be back soon

I am just watching t.v.,and I will be going to bed real soon. I feel soo bad that I have not been writing in my journal and I do feel quilty for not doing so,this cold has not been helping me to get motivatied to do anything. I plan on going to program tomorrow,cause sitting around here does not help,and it is starting to get to me,then I have to see my foot doctor at 3:30pm. I already talked to my boy-friend and he is doing alright,I feel bad that I have not been up to see him,but I need to take care of myself right now.I am hanging in there and doing the best I can. I will be back on the bus sometime tomorrow,mainly in the evening. taking care of myself.
