have you tried writing in it at diff times?
like maybe when you first wake up.... or at lunch time... or something? before you get too tired?
getting apts clean can be very good!!!

I am getting ready for program,and I will be leaving soon. No,I have not tried writing at different times in the day and that sounds like a great ideal.It is hard for me to write at program,but on my days off it sounds great.Thanks so much for the ideal.I will try it and let you know how it works.Thanks. I am doing great this morning,just not awake yet. I hope everyone has a great day today.I did not do any SI so far,and I am proud of myself. I will be back on the bus later on,when I get home from program. I am hanging in there and taking care of myself. 
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 day at program and it went well.I came home and I went for a walk and it felt great. Then I took a nap,cause I was so tired from the walk,and my boy-friend came over to visit. I did not write in my journal yet,and I hope I get a chance to tonight.I am doing pretty good and the walk helped me alot. I did not do any SI and even though the urges and the thoughts are there,it can be hard sometimes to fight it,but so far I am doing pretty good. I am hanging in there and doing the best I can.. I am going to go and watch t.v.,and push myself to write in my journal.Thanks for caring. I will be back on the bus later on,promise

I had a great night so far. My boy-friend just left and I am watching t.v.,cause I will be going to bed real soon. I wrote in my journal tonight and it was not easy for me,cause the urges and the emotions that I can not deal with,came up in my journal,and that was very hard for me. I did slip with SI, it was not that bad like it use to be. I do feel guilty for SI,it had been over 3 weeks since I last did any form of SI. My boy-friend was not here when it happen. I feel sad about it, 
I am going to be alright,I just have to take my medication before I go to bed. I will mention to my therapist what happen. I will continue to write in my journal,and I do feel somewhat anxious,but I feel safe being on the bus and when I go to bed,so I know that I will be alright. I have program tomorrow,so I will be back on the bus tomorrow evening. I will have to keep trying and it can get frustrated with the urges and the anxiety. I will take care of myself tonight. I will be alright,that is a promise. I will be back on tomorrow,promise. taking care of myself

I had a great night sleep and I feel better since I slip with SI.I am doing alright and I am getting ready for program. I just wanted to check in and let everyone know that I am doing ok. I think that I slip,cause I got soo frustrated with my weight. I was losing weight when I was sick with a cold and it was great to see the weight lose,but know that I am feeling well,I gain the weight back on,it got me soo frustrated and I was angry with myself for putting the weight back on. I will talk this over with my therapist when I see her today. I am hanging in there and doing the best I can. I will be back on the bus later on,promise

Hi Candy, Sorry you had a hard time recently and all, I hope that things are a bit better now. It's good that you're going to talk to your therapist, maybe you can come up with a plan about what to do the next time that these difficult emotions occur. I hope program went well for you too. Take care!

I had a rough morning,cause my mother got verbally abusive with me on the phone,calling me alot of names. I am doing alright though,no SI,and it was not easy for me,butI am handle it alright. I did not do much today,I did go to my doctor's this morning,and that was about it. I did not do any cleaning or anything else,caue I was feeling depressed,and I could not get myself motivated to do nothing. I did take a walk and that helped me alot. I have not written in my journal lately,but I will. My boy-friend is coming over and we are going out for awhile,and that helps me alot. I am hanging in there and doing the best I can. I just have to take my 5pm medication and relax,till my boy-friend gets here. I just wanted to let everyone know that I am doing alright. I will be back on the bus later on sometime,promise.

I went to my mother's for awhile and then when I came home,I went for a walk,cause I need to get rid of the stress that I was feeling and it helped me alot.I have a few things to do and then the rest of the day I am going to do what I want. I am hanging in there and doing the best I can. Sometimes between my boy-friend and mother they can both get on my nerves and stress me out,and that is when I need sometime to myself. I am trying soo hard to lose weight and it is not easy for me,but I keep trying.I am also going to push myself to write in my journal later on. I am alright and I will be back on the bus later on.

It's great that you went for the walk as a means of getting through the stress, that's a really positive coping skill. I do that too, it gets me out for a while and gives me a chance to get my head together. There's nothing wrong with having some alone time either, not at all. Anyway, I'm glad to see that you're doing ok. Take care!
