I am getting ready to go to bed,cause I am getting tired. My boy-friend just left to go home and I am watching t.v. I have bad cramps tonight,so I will take something for it. It is hard to get into the Christmas spirit when I have to move,but I am trying very hard. I just can keep in mind that I can make new positive memories in my new apartment,cause I was abused by a old boy-friend in this apartment,my boy-friend knows about it,so I just have to remember that.I will be just fine. I am going to enjoy myself tomorrow. I will be back on the bus sometime tomorrow.taking care of myself :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 am doing alright. I slept in this morning,cause I was so tired. I am going to do positive things for myself today,and keep busy. It is really snowing outside. NO SI last night,and that is great. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I had to make coffee this morning just to wake me up. I will be just fine. I will be back on the bus later. :bcatsmile:

I am doing alright. I slept most of the day,cause I was soo tired out and I just wanted to sleep. I already had dinner and did the dishes. I am relaxing till my boy-friend gets here. We might go out later on to visit a friend,not sure yet. I have not done any SI so far and that is great. I will be just fine. I think the stress of everything is getting to me and that is why I slept so much. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be back on the bus sometime later. taking care of myself :bcatsmile:

It has been one of those days for me. I just can not relax and take it easy,that I why I came on the bus.

.
My power was turn off,cause they had work to do on it,and it got soo cold. It finally came on now,so I can get warm. It is so hard to get in the Christmas spirit to enjoy anything for the hoildays,but I am trying.I have not been able to write in my journal,cause there has been so much going on right now,that I can not relax to write in it. I feel bad about it,but when I try to write I just can not relax. I hope when I get move and settled that I will be able to relax and write. I feel bad though. NO SI so far and that is great. I am going to try to relax and lay down for awhile. My boy-friend will be over later and I need to get out for awhile. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be just fine. I will be back on later.taking care of myself :bcatsmile:

My boy-friend will be over later and we are going out for awhile. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be just fine. I am just watching t.v.,and relaxing.

I had a good day at program today,and a good talk with my therapist. I came home and my nurse came over and did my medication. I took a nap and my boy-friend is here. We are watching t.v.,and relaxing. I still did not write in my journal yet,and my therapist wants me to,cause of the stress that I could get under from the moving and she does not want me to slip with SI. I understand what she is saying,I just can not get myself back into in. I need to push myself more. I am hanging in there and feeling pretty good. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. NO SI so far. I will be just fine. I will be back on the bus later.taking care of myself :bcatsmile:

I am feeling pretty good. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I am hanging in there,with all of this moving. I will be packing more stuff this weekend with my parents and my boy-friend. I am going to go to bed real soon getting tired.

I had a great day at program today. We are packing more stuff and it gets soo stressful sometimes. I am doing alright and my boy-friend is here and we are watching t.v. I am going on a train ride this Sat with my friend,and it will give me a chance to get away from everything. I still did not write in my journal so far,cause I have been busy and I can not get the time to write in it,with all of this moving. I will be just fine. I really want to write in it,but my thoughts are racing that I can not conceration. I need to tell me therapist about it. NO SI so far,that is great. I am going to relax and watch t .v. I will be back on later. taking care of myself :bcatsmile:
