Got through the night

Post by Candy » Sat Feb 10, 2007 4:39 pm

I can not believe that I got through the night without doing any SH,it was not easy,but being on the bus is helping me alot,and I need to add things to my coping box and I am working on that,even though I am having a hard time. My anxiety level is still high and the thought of doing SH,is there,the urge is hard to deal with sometimes. I want to thank everyone there who has been very supportive to me,and I will continue to write on the bus web board. I am still having problems of finding pictures to color,like Hello Kitty,cats,butterflies and dolphins,if anyone knows of a good website,please let me know. It has been real hard for me and I am get soo tired of it,but I am trying to be strong.It is hard when my parents do not understands my illness,my boy-friend is trying to help,but I know that he gets frustrated,cause he does not know what to do to help me,and that makes me feel bad inside,cause I know that it is hard for him as well.There are times that I have to take it one minute at a time and other days are better then other.I get so angry with myself,cause I am trying so hard and I just want the anxiety to go away and the urge to do SH,but I know that it takes times. I just wanted to let you know that I got through the night,and I am proud of myself for that.It is so hard for me.You are weclome to Pm if you like,or write on the bus.Hanging in there
I am giving myself a :bfly: Doing the best I can. :star:
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.

To find yourself,think of yourself first.

I'm really sorry that you feel bad, but I'm glad that you were able to make it through the night w/out SH. Just remember that you are strong and you can make it through this.
I hope it's not out of line to give you a hug :1hug:

well done Candy! a night without SI can be incredibly hard, expecially if you're going through a hard time which you seem to be at the moment. I'm sorry you're feeling bad but I hope you realise what a great achievement that was. It takes real strength.
I hope it's not out of line to give you a hug

...then one day I realised that the people you see in waiting rooms and car parks and on trains are really far more interesting. That they all have whole novels inside them, a fabric of scar tissues, photos and memories. They are comedies and tragedies and - more often - both at the same time.

I just wanted to say congrats for getting through the night, I know how difficult that can be. It's especially hard when people around us don't have a full comprehension of what's going on. I think it's a really good idea to keep adding to your coping box.
