I am doing alright. My boy-friend and I just watched t.v.,and relaxed. He went home to get some sleep,and I will be going to bed soon. I did write in my journal today and it helped alot. NO SI tonight and that is great. I have day treatment program tomorrow and I am looking forward to going in. I am going to watch t.v.,for awhile and then go to bed. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I also meet with my therapist tomorrow as well. I will be just fine. I will be back on the bus tomorrow after program. 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 saw the doctor this morning and she took me off of xanax and put me on another drug that is in the family. I can not remember the name cause I drop it off at the drugstore and my boy-friend will be here soon to bring it to me. I have to take it at 5pm and bedtime. It will make me tired,that she already told me. I found the sheet the name of the drug is called " Lorazepam.I had a great day at program. NO SI so far. 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 am doing alright.I had a rough day at program,but I will be alright. I met with my therapist and that was not easy for me. It was just a bad day for me. I am feeling depressed right now,but I will be ok. I did not do any SI so far and that is great,cause the urges are strong,so that is why I am on the bus and my boy-friend is here with me. I will be ok. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I also took a nap after I got home from program,cause I was tired out. Now we are watching t.v.,and taking it easy. I will be back on later. :bcatsmile:

I have been crying and so depressed. It was not my day at program and it did not help much. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing.My boy-friend was supportive to me,but I can not help the way I feel. I will be alright,I will make sure that I use my coping skills. I will be back on the bus sometime tomorrow.taking care of myself :bcatsmile:

Hi Candy, I'm sorry that you have been having a rough time, but I'm glad things seem to be getting a little better. I won't be around much for the next few days, there's a lot going on at the moment. Keep looking after yourself. :star:

I am not doing so good. Since my doctor put me on this new medication for my anxiety,I have been having dry mouth,crying spells,and SI issues. I was fine on Xanax ER,what is going on here. I am writing in my journal to keep myself busy,and I already took a nap,cause I was soo tired out. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be just fine. I can get a hold of my therapist tomorrow,but the doctor will not be there till Wed. I am holding on. I have a busy day tomorrow,with cleaning,my nurse is coming over to do my medication,and then I have to see my doctor at 2pm. That is tomorrow though. I will be back on the bus later.taking care of myself. :bcatsmile:
