I am doing alright. I did slip with SI last night,cause of all the stress that I was under with the moving and stuff. I feel horrible inside for what I did. I just need to pick myself up and start over again. My parents were here most of the day packing,and I am tired out. They will be here Sat and Sun to do more packing,but I will not be here tomorrow,cause I am going on a train ride with my friend,from 12 noon to 3pm,and I hear it is very relaxing,so I am looking forward to it. My boy-friend has been here most of the day helping and later we are going out for awhile. I am hanging in there. I still feel bad inside about what happen last night. I did not get a chance to write in my journal today,cause of being busy and the same goes for tomorrow, I am doing the best I can. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I am taking care of myself. I will be back on the bus later. :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 better than I was earlier. I am just relaxing with my boy-friend and taking it easy. NO SI so far and that is great. I have the train ride tomorrow,and I will be gone till 3pm,and then later on my boy-friend will be here. My parents will be over while I am gone to pack more stuff at my apartment. I am hanging in there. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be alright. I will be back on later. :bcatsmile:

I am doing alright. My boy-friend just left to go home and get some sleep. I will be going to bed real soon. We had a great time together. I will be gone most of the day tomorrow,cause I am going on the train ride. My friend is picking me up after 11am and I will be not be home till after 3pm. Then my boy-friend will be over later on. My parents will be here most of the day packing,so at least I will be gone for awhile. I did not do any SI tonight and that is great. I just have bad cramps right now. I will be just fine. I had a real busy day today and did not get much of the things that I wanted to get done,but I got alot of packing done though. I am hanging in there.I will be back on the bus sometime tomorrow probably after 3pm or later. I am just fine. taking care of myself :bcatsmile:

I will be going on the train ride today,and my friend is picking me up at 11am,and I will not be home till after 3pm. My parents will be here doing more packing. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be just fine. I am going to enjoy my day and have alot of fun. I did not get a chance to write in my journal yesterday with everything that is going on,and if I get time later when I get home I will write in it. I will be back on the bus sometime later. taking care of myself. :bcatsmile:

I had a great time on the train ride. It was very relaxing and I enjoy myself. I am sitting here with my boy-friend and we are watching t.v. I did not do any SI so far and that is great. I did not write in my journal,cause I was so tired out when I got home that I took a nap. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I am doing alright,just not feeling great,but I will be alright. I will be back on the bus later. :bcatsmile:

I am doing not so great. I slip again last night with SI. I am feeling overwhelmed with everything,and I do not know how to handle stress,it is getting to much for me. I see my doctor this Wed,I might need a medication change I do not know. With the stress of moving and dealing with my mother at the sametime it is not easy. I have my case-manager coming over at 1pm,and I need to talk to someone. I will be ok. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be moving next Tuesday. I am going to hang in there. I will be back on the bus later.taking care of myself. :bcatsmile:

I had a great day so far. I had a good day at day treatment program,then I talk to my therapist and we had a great talk. My nurse came over and did my medication,and then I took a nap,cause I was tired out. My boy-friend is here and we are watching t.v.. We have to go out in a little while,cause I have to pick up a package at the UPS,then we will come back here. I am feeling alright, My thoughts are racing and the stress is getting to me,but I will be alright. It is hard for me to write in my journal,cause my thoughts are racing and I can not concerate. I see the doctor tomorrow when I go to day treatment program,so I will let her know how I am feeling. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be just fine. I will be back on the bus later. taking care of myself :bcatsmile:

I wrote a little in my journal,to get my feelings out and it helped me alot. I also did some coloring for awhile. I feel better than earlier. I did not do any SI tonight and that is great. I am looking forward to going in tomorrow. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I can not believe that next Tuesday,I will be moving in to my new apartment. It is going to be a stressful day,but I will get though it. I am going to have a great day tomorrow. I will be back on the bus sometime tomorrow after program. taking care of myself :bcatsmile:

I had a good day at program,and I saw the doctor and she put me on Seroquel at bedtime,it is only 25mg. She did not give me another refill,cause she wants to see how I am doing. I did slip in another way,by hitting myself in the head,I am sorry if that bothers anyone,do not mean tp upset anyone. I am feeling alot better and I am going to take it easy till my boy-friend gets here later,we are going out for awhile,not sure where yet. I will be just fine. I will talk to my therapist tomorrow about what is going on with me,cause it is the last time I will be seeing her till I move on Tuesday the 18th. We will finish up the packing this weekend. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be back on the bus later. taking care of myself :bcatsmile:

I had a good day at day treatment,and I met with my therapist and we had a great talk,she helped me alot. Even though my thoughts are racing,and I am getting ready to move this coming Tuesday;plus the hoildays are also coming,I have decided to wait till after Christmas and start writing in my journal,so I am going to color instead or do other positive things till I am settle in my apartment. I already mention this with my therapist and she understands. I am feeling pretty good. I am going to take it easy till my boy-friend comes over later on. I will be back on the bus later. taking care of myself :bcatsmile:
