because pink colour has been a trigger for me because i had no control and it was always a gift as an appology that lasted a day at most before the hurt started again...


anyways i am proud cause I was in control, coloured my nails pink because I had the choice and control over the colour and I was doing it for myself so I had a reason to think good about pink.

I have not SI'd in 4 days despite being very triggered and sleep deprived, which is usually when I slip :D

... even though I was feeling awful, triggered, depressed, and sad, I went to my yoga class anyway... I even put myself in the front row!

I'm proud of myself today because...

:lblstar: When I couldn't sleep last night because all I could think about was SI, I went to sleep and never acted on it

:lgrnstar: : I bought a new book today (getting new books makes me happy)

:lpurpstar: I drove through the busy part of town twice today, and driving really stresses me out, but I was okay.

I just now managed not to cut. I don't know how or even why I did it really, but i managed. Still on the road to six months without it.

although I let my ex lean on me for support I did not let his situation be "our" situation. I have to keep my head above water so I think I did a good job at finding a median.

I didn't act out on my ED :oops:
There's sometimes a weird benefit to having an alcoholic, violent father. He really motivated me in that I never wanted to be anything like him.

I'm proud of myself because I walked away from a situation that could have escalated, I helped the environment (and my pocket) by recycling bottles and cans, I cut up a paper plate instead of myself, and I can still do an excellent arabesque even though it's been years since I was in ballet.

i'm proud of myself today because...

:lblstar: i made a new friend.

i texted a girl who i went to school with who i figured probably SI'd too. She said she still does and doesn't mind if we meet and talk about stuff. that makes me feel better.
