So I am going to watch satc2 with my mum.

I feel really urgy, SI and OD.

I'm going to wait at least an hour before I do anything. I'm also going to try to distract myself. I may try to talk to someone if any of the friends I talk to are online.

i feel anxious and scared. i'm planning to go to a support group today and my anxiety is not going to stop me. as bad as it feels - that's a sign of how much i need support and other people - and screw the fact that it will make my mood/anxiety worse today, it will feel better tomorrow.

I feel stressed overwhelmed and like a failure.

I am going to read over all of my test materials and try to get a good night's sleep. Things will look better in the morning.

I have strong OD and SI urges, did already cut and want to do more.

I will take a healthy dose of diazepam and am listening to calm music. Will try to go to bed as soon as the pills are working. Won't OD no matter what and will try to distract myself on the internet so I won't cut anymore tonight.

I feel unsertain about this relationship, I feel a little upset. But I'm going to calm down, give you the space you ask for and hope that whatever happens is good for both of us. I'll wait.

I feel awful for messing up plans with a friend again.

I am going to:

- Call my T (already did, and it was helpful)
- NOT beat myself up
- Accept that my feelings are there but know that they don't have to rule me
- Journal
- Take my meds
- Do some sewing and play with my dolls
