I am doing alright. I had a good day at program,but it could of been better for me,but I got through it just fine. I took a nap after I got home and then my boy-friend and I went out for awhile. Then we came back here and watched t.v. He just left to go home and get some sleep,I will be doing the samething soon. NO SI tonight and that is great. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be just fine. I have been keeping myself busy by doing positive things for myself and it is helping me alot. I will be back on after program 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 know that I have not been on for awhile,just going through a lot right now.My friends and I got into a fight and we are no longer friends,so I have been feeling depressed. My wrist is not healed yet,so that does not help much,it is getting better,just not 100% better. My boy-friend is doing great. I slip with self-harm,due to the fact that I can not get my emotions out the way I want to,cause of my wrist. I am on medication for it. I am feeling depressed and confused about stuff right now. I just wanted to let everyone know that I am doing alright. I will be back on soon. taking care of myself :bcatsmile:

I am doing alright. I know it has been awhile since I was on. I have been busy visiting friends and spending time with my boy-friend. I have been doing great at program and no self-harm so far. My wrist is getting alot better and I have been taking it easy with it. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I am feeling pretty good,just frustrated about my wrist,cause it is hard for me to get my feelings out when I can not write. So I have been taking it easy with it. I am just fine. Be back on later.taking care of myself. :bcatsmile:

It's nice to see you again. Glad to hear that your wrist is doing better.
there is, in the end, the letting go.

It has been awhile since I have been on. My boy-friend is back in the hospital due to his breathing again,so my holiday weekend was not the greatest. I also had a cold over the weekend,so I am trying to get over that. My wrist is almost better,and that is great. I have not done any SI so that is great. I spent the weekend by myself,but I kept myself busy. I have program tomorrow so I am looking forward to going in. I have been keeping myself busy with my coping skills that I can do at this point. I am hanging in there,just feeling depressed,but I will be alright. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. Be back on later.taking care of myself :bcatsmile:

I know it has been awhile since I have been on here,the reason for that is that I have been sick with a bad cold and my boy-friend has been in the hospital. I am doing pretty good at program and the groups are going great. I have not done any self-harm lately,but the thoughts are there,and I keep fighting it. My wrist is getting alot better,it takes awhile to heal,I am hoping and praying that it heals in a week or so, so I can start writing again. I am keeping myself busy by doing positive things for myself and it is helping. My boy-friend is home,he got out yesterday,he is feeling better. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be just fine,going to spend the day with my boy-friend. taking care of myself. Be back on later on. :bcatsmile:

IT has been awhile since I have been on here. I have not been doing good. I already slip with self-harm last week,but I am ok. I am dealing with issues with my boy-friend and I am trying to work things out. I still have not have written in my journal due to my wrist,so hopefully when I see him next week,it will be better. I hope so. I have been feeling stressed out lately and it is hard to express my feelings right now.I am just taking care of myself. I have not use my coping skills,due to the fact that I need my hand,but I am doing the best I can. Day treatment program is going good. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be ok. I am haning in there right now. Be back on when I can. :bcatsmile:

I am doing alright. I made myself a goal that I was not going to do any Self-harm for 2 months,I am trying very hard to make it. My wrist feels alot better,but I will know more when I see him this Friday. I hope it heals up,cause I had it for awhile. NO Self-harm so far and that is great. My boy-friend could not come over,cause he is sick with the flu,so I am keeping myself busy. I have been keeping myself busy,by doing positive things for myself. I am feeling pretty good and I am just relaxing right now. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I am doing just fine. Be back on later on.taking care of myself :bcatsmile:

I am doing alright. I am relaxing and watching t.v. My boy-friend went home to get some sleep. I have program tomorrow. I hope that when I see my doctor this Friday,that he tells me that my wrist is fine,it is getting very frustrating for me,when I want to write. NO SI so far and that is great. It is hard when I want to write and I am afraid to hurt my wrist more,I have tenditois in it,if I spell that right. I am feeling pretty good and keeping myself busy. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be just fine. Be back on soon. taking care of myself. :bcatsmile:
