I've been reading, watching TV, and today I'm going to do some laundry and some other things to keep busy.

Browsing the web on certain topics, I guess I can make it sound fancy and call it "research" 
Honestly I had no energy today and have been struggling with self-starving, and skin picking but I am planning to do better tomorrow
Called a therapy clinic but the intake coordinator was out so I left a message. A step closer to exploring new therapists.
Yesterday I went to a community space event called "a space to breathe"
We basically just talked about things, the recent election, what it means for us. There was pizza but im lactose intolerant  so I guess it is good I resisted, rather than eating something that would hurt my stomach.
Anyway, meeting cool people helped so much. Considering I was indoors a lot with my dad and he can be difficult for me

Budgeting for things I really really want but don't need.
Drinking orange soda against doctor's orders because it makes me feel better.
Resilient
1. (of a person or animal) able to withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions.
2. (of a substance or object) able to recoil or spring back into shape after bending, stretching, or being compressed.
We all possess resilience, we just need to realize it.

Honestly, the song, "Under The Knife" By Icon For Hire helps me a lot. The second I think about hurting myself, I listen to that song. It has such a powerful message and I know I am better than that, I just need a reminder here and there
~I was always scared of everything, even the carousel.~
~Don't worry about me. I'm sort of feeling fine, but by tomorrow, I'll be back on my feet again.~

I got out of the house yesterday, planning on doing some things today, talked to a friend last night, and I've been burning candles lately. I think it helps keep me grounded.

Writing some, maybe drawing later. Trying to do stuff I need to do anyway
It's ok to give in to an urge or make a mistake. You are only human and we all have our flaws. We all have our weak moments and we all make mistakes. Thats what makes us human.
Thats what makes us unique and beautiful

Woke up and was thinking about it so got out of bed and came into the computer room and did some TH stuff.
Yesterday I was anxious and felt like cutting and my boyfriend and I ended up playing a Lego video game. I kind of sucked but I mean it was mostly fun.

1. Distractions-
2. Changing my perspective, challenging the negative thoughts in the best way I know how. Trying to see things differently. That I'm not a bad person; I'm a survivor of bad things that have happened. And because I've been through a lot, I understand certain things and can use that insight to help others. And one day I would have learned the skills that I've missed out on as a child and I would not only have those skills but I would have the experiences of learning these skills the hard way and fighting the battle so that would allow me to help others fight their battles
Trying to not let certain people bring me down but it is really getting hard. But I guess I'm trying to get more social support from outside sources than my family.

Writing things out (although I have a lot more to write)
So I bought this nail polish with a free $10 gift certificate that I was offered from Nordstorm and I am making it my way to celebrate the 8 weeks without cutting half goal mark. And then I opened it today for the first time and put some on instead of cutting. I also want to do something for the 12 week mark because that was my goal. And then set a follow up goal.

Imagining my future home. Or at least my future room. It used to be something I would do all the time as a child. My sister always wanted the room to be filled with mirrors (no thanks, I will pass) but we definitely agreed on an attic and a secret library room. Like on dragon tales, Cassie's new room. Haha
(I love Cassie on dragon tales, like omg)
I've been thinking about my safe place. An imaginary place but 2 friends know about it in detail and they've even added some stuff and we remind each other to go there when either of us is feeling low.
I will be catching up on TH and if my tablet doesn't fail me, I will type up what I wrote in my journal.
Been wanting to get into drawing again.
Working on my application for the community program thing
