[ktodee_27]

awwwwww rachel

I am grateful that I am alive and breathing myself and that i am still around....even through those funky moods and self-sabotage moments i can get into

(and also because I am alive, I can clean my house and no one has to come in here and clean it up for me and rummage through my stuff and see all what have since I am still alive and i am able to do it myself! hehe bad joke! but it seriously does terrify me that when i die one day, someone will be going through all my possessions and journals and everything. and especially if im a preacher by then and they come across my bpd journal entries on bad days, my treatment stuff, etc look out! LOL! " )

im grateful i dont have to put a cigarette in my mouth anymore and depend on them just to get thru the day....

im grateful for a caring boyfriend

Im grateful for bpdworld and soooooooo many caring people within it...

Im grateful for my new pillow Big Betz! who helps me sleep at night, and for Bets, the person i named it after since shes been there for months for me here and put up with a lot of crap in my bad moods.. and comforted me and used her awesome posting skills to knock me over my head with a 2x4 and back into reality several hundred times in the past 2 months.. Bets gives me a comforting feeling too just like Big Betz, so i just had to name my pillow after her!

Im also grateful for the staff and others thats helped me out too u know whos you all are!

Im grateful i have a job even if it gets mind boggling at times

Im grateful im getting help for my ED even if some days i want to snuggle up with it and not get help and keep it to myself.

Im grateful for Ritalin since its helped better then Adderall and especially at work..

Of course Im grateful to My Maker for also giving me strength and perseverance to get through these hardships along with my real time support team, and boyfriend and the people he's placed in my life..

Im greatful that i have more of a direction in my life that i want to go in

Im grateful for my faith since its helped a lot in keeping me above water and not getting into total mayhem again.. if i didnt have my faith i would be dead right now or locked in an institution guaranteed. probably the first one im sure..
