I am relaxing and taking it easy. My boy-friend and I are watching t.v., tonight and enjoying our time together.I took a nap earlier,cause I was so tired and needed the rest. I did not write in my journal today,but I did other things that were positive,no SI either.great. I have day treatment program tomorrow and I am looking forward to it. Then the rest of week is mine to enjoy myself. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I am going to get a real good night sleep tonight. If I am not on the bus later on, I will be back on it tomorrow evening. I am doing alright. I am going to take care of myself. I will be back on the bus sometime tomorrow. :bcatsmile:
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 when I got home I went out and got my haircut and wrote in my journal afterwards. Then my boy-friend came over and we went out to Walmart for awhile,and went to visit some friends. We had a great time together. We are sitting here watching t.v.. I will be going to bed real soon,cause I have to get up and go to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned,fun. I have not done any SI today,that is great!!!!!!! I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing.I am doing alright. I am feeling pretty good and I am taking care of myself. I am getting tired and I will sleep good tonight. I will be back on the bus sometime tomorrow :bcatsmile:

Hey Candy, I'm glad program was good. You just reminded me, I need to get a haircut too. It's great that you're doing so well with the si, it's a real achievement! Hope the dentist goes well for you too by the way.

I had a great day so far. I went to the dentist,and I need to get two cavaity fills,they are small ones though,still not happy about it.I got my glasses and I am not used to them yet. I slept most of the day,and then I took myself out for dinner at Wendy's. I had a great time. I am watching t.v.,till my boy-friend gets here. I have not written in my journal,and I will probably write in it tomorrow,I have done alot of other positive things as well today. I have not done any SI today,that is great. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I am hanging in there and doing the best I can.I have to go to the dentist Wed afternoon.taking care of myself. I will be back on later on. :bcatsmile:

I got all my cleaning done and my nurse came to do my medication,and I took a nap for awhile. My boy-friend is suppose to be here around 3pm,but I am not sure yet,we need sometime to ourselves.I have not done any SI so far,keeping myself busy.My doctor increased my Paxil and my mouth is so dry,any suggestions. I am hanging in there and doing the best I can. I do not know what we are doing,but as long as he is here,I will be just fine. I wrote in my journal yesterday,and I can not get in the mood to write in it today,there is always tomorrow. I feel somewhat anxious today,that is why I am trying to focus on other stuff that is positive. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing.I am taking care of myself.Be back on later. :bcatsmile:
