I had a great Thanksgiving. The dinner was great. My boy-friend is here and we are just watching t.v. I did not write in my journal today,but there is always tomorrow. The only thing that bother me today,is when I was with my parents and my sister,is that they hardly talk to me,I do not know why,no matter how I tried to talk to everyone,they were talking to my sister,it was only my dad,sister and my mother was there.I was glad to get home and relax though. I will be just fine. NO SI so far and that is great. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I handle everything alright. I will be back on the bus later. taking care of myself :bcatsmile:

I am doing alright. I had a panic attack earlier and I had to get off the computer and take my medication,then I lay down for awhile. My boy-friend was here,so he helped me alot. He just left to go home and get some sleep. I will be doing the same thing. I have off tomorrow,so I will be cleaning my apartment and doing positive things for myself. I did not do any SI tonight and that is great,cause of the way I have been feeling. I just am not ready to move right now,one due to the holidays and dealing with my verbally abusive mother,who I do love. I will be just fine. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be back on the bus tomorrow sometime. taking care of myself :bcatsmile:
