I am doing alright. My boy-friend and I are watching t.v.,and taking it easy. He is sleeping over tonight,cause we are going away tomorrow for the day,and we are leaving in the morning around 9:30 am,we are going to a Flea Market in Clarence,so I do not know what time I will be home,mainly in the evening. I am feeling pretty good tonight,and no SI either. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. My mother was nasty to me earlier,but I handle it great,by not listening to her nasty words she said to me,I love her,but not how she treats me.I will be just fine,and I am going to enjoy the rest of the night,and tomorrow as well.I am hanging in there and taking care of myself. I will be back on sometime tomorrow in the evening :bcatsmile:

I had a great time with my boy-friend and we walked around alot;plus we enjoy ourselves. Then we came back and had dinner at Sunny's. I took a long nap,cause I was tired and so was he. We are watching t.v.,and taking it easy now. When we left Sunny's I saw one of my friends that does not like me anymore,due to the fact that I would not give her two cartoons of my cigs,she gave me a nasty look,and I did not let it bother me either,it was not worth getting upset for. I am proud of myself for handling it so well. I am feeling alright,and I am doing just fine.I have day treatment program tomorrow and I am looking forward to going. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I did not do any SI either,that was good. I am taking care of myself. I will be back on the bus later on before I go to bed. :bcatsmile:

I want to say that I had a good night after my boy-friend left,but I did not cause I slip with SI,cause I had trouble dealing with my emotions over my friend deaths ,and it has been hard on me. I already talked to my therapist about it,she thought writing a letter to my friend will help me,for some reason I do not want to feel pain over this,so I hurt myself instead. I have been doing SI so long,it has been so hard to stop,and there are times that I think there is something wrong with me,it is how I feel. I had a good day at program,and my therapist helped me alot. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I am writing in my journal and my boy-friend will be over later on. I will lay down after I finish and take a nap. I am hanging in there and taking care of myself I will be just fine.
I will be back on later :bcatsmile:

I am doing alright so far. I wrote in my journal and then I took a nap,cause I was so tired out. Then my boy-friend showed up and we watched a good movie,now we are watching t.v. I still feel bad about slipping with SI last night,but I am not trying to think about it and focus on just the moment and it is not easy,but I am trying. I have to get blood work done in the morning and my case-manager will be over in the afternoon,and the day is mine to do positive things. I am going to take care of myself.I will be back on later :bcatsmile:

Hi Candy, I know it must be really hard for you at the moment, I know how it feels to lose a friend too. But you will always have the memory of her, and although it might not feel like it at the moment, it will become easier to deal with as time goes on. I hope that your day goes well, take care.
