Hi,

I just really need to say somewhere that sometimes this is hard! I have not done anything to hurt myself for a very long time (probably over a year...I don't really keep count). This is always a bad time of year for me and in recent years when I've slipped up, it's been around this time of year. I am trying to make good choices and be safe. And still it is just really hard. I am wrestling with it. My counselor is on an extra-long vacation and will be gone for all of the hardest days for me, and still won't be back for what seems like a long time. I am wishing we were going to be meeting soon and there would be a place to talk about some of these things. Sometimes things just seem...well...difficult. Thanks for listening. I just needed to say it somewhere. Thanks.

Take care,
ErinBear
