I had a great evening so far. I took a nap for awhile cause I was tired out. I am watching t.v.,with my boy-friend and taking it easy. NO SI so far and that is great. I am feeling pretty good and I am doing alright. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I am going to relax and take it easy. I have been using my coping skills and there are helping me alot,which I need to keep using. I will be back on the bus later.taking care of myself. :bcatsmile:

I am doing alright. My boy-friend and I went out for awhile and did some shopping. We went to Walmart and Tops,then we came back to my apartment and we are watching t.v. I had a good day today. NO SI so far and that is great. 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:

Thanks for the nice messages. I am doing alright,even though I had a rough night sleep,but at least I did not do any SI which is great. I am going to do positive things for myself today and not let my mother get to me,she is starting to be very controlling,but I will be alright. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be ok. I will be back on the bus later. taking care of myself. :bcatsmile:

I am doing alright. I took a nap for a little while. I am writing in my journal and it is helping me alot. My boy-friend is coming over at 3pm and we are going out to eat at Pizza Hut,then we are going to Barnes and Nobles for awhile,then one more stop and then we are coming home. I am feeling pretty good,just watching t.v. I am doing positive things for myself today and that is great,even though the urges to do SI are always there,I keep fighting it,somedays are harder then others. 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:

Thanks for the nice messages. Happy New Year to you all. I did slip last night,cause I am trying to work out a issue that I have in myself. I am upset about slipping,but I need to pick myself back on again. How do I start changing my negative thinking to positive thinking. She wants me to write everytime that I start thinking negative to a positive,and if I did that it would take me all day. Does anyone have any ideals that would help me.It is going to be one of my New Year changes that I make for myself. I am doing alright otherwise. I am cleaning my apartment and my nurse will be here later on. I will be just fine. I will be back on later. taking care of myself. :1party2:
