i stood up for how i feel and took care of it without excusing everything

and i got my parents to let me have the car tomorrow to avoid total panic from having to take a bus i've never taken before, thus sticking up for myself and making sure i didn't get into a situation i couldn't handle... (and yeah that is a big deal...)

I'm feeling better.

I want to live and to do BIG things.

I started a "health journal" to help me take care of myself better. I've been reading this book my mom got me called "Dorm Room Diet" about maintaining/starting a healthy lifestyle in college, because I'm nervous about having to take care of myself.

I will succeed.

I didnt make another appointment with my T cuz i was flipping out. But, I made myself call JM and then let him talk me into making another appointment. Then, I actually made it, and I plan to go to the appointment.

wheeeee -- I'm thinking positively!

I'm taking my nutrition stuff because it makes me feel great, but it is still a hassle -- I'm proud of myself for remembering, for hoping, for trying......

And... I'm proud that I am who I am, which I just found out! :o and it's an amazing realization....

I'm proud of myself because I didn't fight with my sister or my brother. I'm also proud of myself because I didn't cut today.

i'm proud of myself today because i didn't withdraw
and then get really upset when someone was angry
with me. i confronted the situation by saying "you
look angry" and i told them why i did what i did
(the thing that made them angry) and it wasn't
perfect, but it was alot better. :D

I am proud of myself because I am working on sending an email that I know I need to send.. cause I know this person will help ground me.. I'm proud of me.. cause I'm casting out a rope to help pull me back to where I should be..
