I am doing alright. My boy-friend and I went for awhile. Now we are relaxing and watching t.v. After he leaves I will be going to bed,cause I am getting tired. I am going to do positive things for myself tomorrow. My case-manager is coming over in the afternoon and then I am going out for lunch with a friend. NO SI so far and that is great. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I am feeling pretty good. I will be just fine. I will be back on sometime tomorrow. 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 had a great night,no SI either. I am just working around the apartment and getting things done. My case-manager will be here in the afternoon,and then I am going out for lunch with a friend. I feel restless right now,cause I am trying to get things done fast,so I need to calm down and take my time,cause I do not need a panic attack to set in. I will be just fine. I just wanted to let eveyone know how I am doing. be back on later. taking care of myself :bcatsmile:

I am doing alright. I am watching a movie with my boy-friend. After he leaves I will be going to bed,cause I have to get up early in the morning,due to the fact that I have to do laundry. NO SI so far and that is great. I had a great day. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I am feeling pretty good. I will be back on tomorrow sometime. taking care of myself :bcatsmile:
