I'm sure a lot of people slip up. (I did last week.) It always depressing afterwards because that's when the guilt sets in. After a slip up---I think to myself "why did I just do that"? I think one of the worst parts is trying to hide it from people...though I've become quite good at that (which is good and bad I guess).

There is a lot of good information and suggestions on that list. I actually saved it and one of these days I'm going to get around to printing it.
Yeah... a friend of mine who's really been trying to help me with the depression and SI stuff just found out... I think she's mad at me now. So, now it's like my stupid "coping mechanism" (the SI) just turned my support away... at least for the time being. I think she'll probably talk to me later... she says that she needs time to "process." Ugh. Sometimes this whole thing sucks. I was doing really well with the SI stuff... hadn't done it in over a month. *sigh* guess the ticker starts again, eh? I just hope my friend isn't too hurt/ angry. I don't know where I'd be without her... :/
