I am doing alright. I went out with my boy-friend,we had a great time. He went home to get some sleep,and I will be going to bed real soon,cause I am getting tired. I did not do any SI tonight and that is great. I am feeling pretty good. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be just fine. I will be moving into my new apartment this Tuesday,it is coming so fast and so is Christmas. I am watching t.v.,and taking it easy. I need to give this new medication a chance and hopefully soon my thoughts will stop racing. I have been doing positive things for myself. I will be back on the bus sometime tomorrow.taking care of myself. :bcatsmile:

I feeling overwhelmed with everything,cause the day of moving is coming closer to me,but I will get through it. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. NO SI last night,even though the thought were there,I fought it. I will be fine. I will be back on the bus later. taking care of myself. :bcatsmile:

Hi Candy, I hope things are ok with you. You should feel proud for fighting the urges, I know it can be hard sometimes. I hope too, that you have a nice time with your friend, and the stress of the move doesn't get to you too much. Take care, and I'll be thinking of you with the move and all.

Thanks for the nice messages. I had a great time with my friend. I am relaxing with my boy-friend and taking it easy. We went out for awhile to some stores,and that is about it. I have not done any SI so far and that is great. It has been a stressful day and I know it will be stressful till I move,but I will hang in there and do the best I can. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be back on the bus later.taking care of myself

Hi Candy, I'm glad the move went smoothly and you're settling in okay. That's brilliant about not si-ing, you should be very proud of yourself. Take care, and I hope you have a good day!

Thanks for the nice messages that you sent me. I had a great day at program and it went great. I am doing so-so,just not doing great,cause my mother is getting on my nerves and she is really taking over my apartment,and I am just worn out,that all I want to do is cry,and I am soo tired. It is like I do not have any Strength left to say anything to her right now. I am not sure about program tomorrow,cause I am soo weak. I am just relaxing and watching t.v.,with my boy-friend. I will take care of myself right now. Be back later :bcatsmile:

I also talked to my therapist and she understand that I needed some time off,but I will go back next Wed,after the hoildays. NO SI so far and that is great. I also wrote in my journal for a little bit and that helped alot,it has been awhile since I wrote,so I am glad that I did. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I wll be alright. I will be back on the bus later. taking care of myself. :bcatsmile:
