I am doing alright. I took a nap for awhile,cause I was tired out and I was not feeling well,but I will be alright. My boy-friend is here and we are going out in a few minutes. NO SI so far and that is great. I did not get a chance to write in my journal tonight,cause I was so tired out from program as well. I am feeling pretty good. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will write in my journal tomorrow,after program. I will be just fine. I have been using my coping skills. I will be back on the bus later. 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.

He just left to go home and get some sleep,and I will be doing the samething soon. NO SI tonight and that is great. I will be keeping myself busy tomorrow doing positive things for myself and then my friend and I are going out to eat,in the afternoon. I will be just fine and I am feeling pretty good. I jus wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I am going to relax for awhile and then go to bed. I will be back on the bus sometime tomorrow. taking care of myself :bcatsmile:

I am doing alright. I slip with SI last night,cause I have been feeling stressed out,since I moved in to my new apartment,my mother is trying to be helpful,but she is starting to make me feel like this is her apartment,and I have a trouble expressing my feelings to her;plus she is verbally abusive as well. If anyone has any ideals on how to deal with this situation please let me know. I will be alright. I am going out with my friend to lunch later on,so I am glad about that. I just got done cleaning and I have a few more things to do. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be back on later.taking care of myself. :bcatsmile:

I am doing alright. I did not get a good night sleep,cause my thoughs were disoreted,if I spelled that right and everything was racing. I did not do any SI so far and that is great. I am picking up my apartment and writing in my journal. I am going to keep myself busy by doing positive things for myself. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be just fine. I need to keep myself busy so I can keep focus,but I am having trouble with that,trying though. I will be back on the bus later.taking care of myself :bcatsmile:
