....especially those of you who want - need someone to "check up on you." Here I am, today... HOW ARE YOU DOING??? Just thought I'd stop by. btw, my reintroduction of pain meds have kept me from trying this escape, and I guess that's a good thing?



group hugs.

It's really nice of you to check up on us. I need someone to check up on me. I think I'm actually doing ok. At work, I think I'm doing pretty well, but the pay stinks. You'd think that a bachelors degree would be worth something, but I get the same $6 and hour as the college students and people who are just desparate to work anywhere. I like the girls I work with, and it should look good as experience, but I think I ought to be worth more. It would be nice, between my 2 jobs plus Mark's job in administration, to be able to afford the truck repairs and plumbing repairs and stuff that keep cropping up. We had a pipe break under the house today, and the plumber said we just have a bunch of cheap pipes down there, and they have gotten to the point that they are going to keep breaking, and he suggests replumbing the entire house. Would have to put it on the credit card I'm working to try to pay off (like that will ever happen). But really, I had a pretty decent day at work, and was glad I was at work where there was running water, and our water at home was back on by the time I got home.

You know how at first a new job seems intimidating, and you just feel lost and don't really know what you are supposed to do, and then after a little while everything clicks and you feel like you know what you are doing and can handle it? I'm past that point and feeling like I do a better job than most now. That's kind-of nice.

12 days free of cutting.

You sound much better now that you are back on your pain meds. Definitely a good thing!

Where did you find the group hug smiley? That's cute!

Hey Rap, I am glad you are doing well with the si stuff. You are really growing toward a healthier you with every step. Congrats. Sky, curious about how you got back on drugs, post in general please? Me, last May was last cutting. Scars are fading and I am working on other ways to deal. Not to fun right now.

Ok! Good to hear from you all. The smilies are from

www.emotipad.com they give a two week free try... hoping I become bored with them by the time I have to choose to pay or not. sigh.

What a lovely post! Thank you for this!

I'm doing ok. I had a rough Christmas break, but there were bright spots here and there. And now I'm back home and able to communicate with all of you again! Yay!!

My T and I decided to pack in extra therapy time during the Christmas break, since I wasn't in school and I feel like I took some steps forward. And when I was telling her what a rough break I was having, she asked if I had cut again and I was SOOO proud to be able to say that I hadn't! I was beaming and so was she!! I haven't cut since I finished my SI project and posted on here saying I was getting serious about quitting. That makes something like 6 or 7 weeks. And I haven't even been having urges.

My little sister found a stash of razor blades in my purse, though.
I'm going to post about that.

Anyway, overall, things are good! Thanks for asking!
