Just for today I will embrace the warm and grateful feelings I have after today's session and accept my T's support, rather than second-guess myself and feel unnecessary guilt or like I don't deserve it.
Thanks for this!

Just for today I will suspend my belief and utter conviction that I am worthless and my life is not worth it. Just for today I will not imagine myself dead.

Just for today I will try to get some of the things done that I have been putting off, like get my oil changed.

Just for today I will not get high/drunk. When I start feeling, I will find other ways to deal with it instead of avoiding by numbing out.

Just for today, I will not panic that I'm alone.
In order to get out of the vortex, I need to stop swimming, cross my arms, fall like a stone to the bottom going down through the axis of the vortex and get out to fresh air following a different path.

Granite1 - knowing how hard things are for you these past few weeks, I'm glad to see that you can find a positive thing to hope for, even if just for one day.

I feel like your friend, tho I don't know you.
I feel your pain, and share it.
I'd carry your burden until you were strong enough to carry it.

Very proud of you

I have to recycle some of mine b/c they've not been true irl yet.

Just for today, I will not binge/purge for the rest of the day. I will eat and keep down a healthy dinner and a snack.

Thanks for this!

Just for today, I will not beat myself up for a very small (trigger warning)









cut. It was dumb and impulsive and I wish I hadn't done it...but I'm a work in progress, not a finished model.

Just for today I will try to maintain the millisecond of happiness when I was with my nephews making up jokes.

Just for today, I will have to resort to a glass of wine to calm the inner terror of my mind. I will not resort to bingeing though and I will not resort to S.I. I will limit myself to 2 glasses of wine.

Just for today, I will pretend I'm normal and will go out for coffee with a former co-worker. I will talk about the weather and football and will not think about work, therapy, my ED, my husband's alcoholism, and all the other stressors in my life.
Thanks for this!

I will not obsess about my therapist's reactions, inciting behavior, lack of so-called boundaries, arrogance, burnout, theoretical approach....the list could go on, but honestly? I'm over it. I'm getting more out of my yoga nidra, dog walks, friendships and contributing to my little community than I am from therapy.

But the obsessing goes on, and just for today, I will do my best to let it go.
Thanks for this!

Just for today I will not be mad at my therapist for asking whether I cut myself recently and instead I will be grateful that she cares about my well being.
Thanks for this!

Just for today/tomorrow, I will indulge my desires for chicken soup as I nurse this cold. I will believe (or act as if I believe) it is good to take care of myself, so I will not push myself to my outermost level of endurance.
