We are on time, overly prepared, well read, and witty, intellectually curious, always moving… We drink coffee, a lot of it. We are on birth control, Prozac, and multivitamins… We are relentless, judgmental with ourselves, and forgiving to others. We are the daughters of the feminists who said, “You can be anything,” and we heard, “You have to be everything." - Courtney Martin.

This sounds pathetic but..

I was really enjoying SI & had this really craving feeling like I had to keep doing it, but I stopped the SI immeadiately.

So I slipped, but I stopped myself within the slip.

Take care,
Annie.

Im proud of myself because i delt with a stressfull situation in a mature and respectfull way, asked the right people for advice before reacting so I could deal in the more respectful way possible. I am proud also because I felt confidence and talked to my friend (who is my class group member) and told her the outcome of the situation wich made her feel better too.

Good job, Poya. :) It's hard isn't it?

Today I had a job as a candidman (photographer) at a tea party, and I made it though without breaking down at all, even though I was very upset. Half way though things got better and I had a wonderful time.

My voices kept whispering that they hated me, ect. and instead of sighing and saying "I know..." or getting angry and saying "Oh yeah, well, you think I don't hate you too?" I said "No you don't, you don't hate me. I'm real busy, I don't have time for you right now. We're going to be friends today. When my calender clears, I won't call you." I was firm but not angry, because I look weird when i'm angry at someone in my own head. And after a while they quieted down and I was alone again.
