Andy: We're here for you. Don't SI. I know it's tempting, but you'll just feel worse about yourself after you've done it. I know because I've done it before too. This is how I think about it: my body has done nothing wrong. It deserves my love and support as if it were someone else's body. It's just my brain chemistry that makes me feel like I want to hurt myself, but it's not my body's fault. Take it out on a pillow or something that doesn't hurt anyone. Okay?

Me: feeling less anxious this morning, but I've been sleeping in really late over the past 2 days. I have work tomorrow and am not looking forward to it, but trying to just focus on what I want to accomplish today: some reading and maybe some writing.

to everyone.
