Primal Scream Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Its been a while since I posted any achievements so I thought Id start from 1 again.Achievement #1 I managed to be very honest about how I was feeling in therapy today, and I even cried which is huge for me as I find it so hard to cry.Primal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primal Scream Posted April 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Thank you Tammy and Ellie,I do keep a mood journal, and its helping me to identify some patterns.Achievement# 2 Today is my 9th self harm free dayAchievement# 3 I joined my girlfriend on her driving lesson today, so she could practice being nervous for her test. I felt really panicky today and I didnt want to sit in the car for two hours with her driving instructor, but I wanted to help her as shes helped me, so I forced myself. Im glad I did it because it also got me out of the house for two hours.Primal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primal Scream Posted April 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Thank you Tripper Achievement # 4 realised today that I can take alcohol abuse off my diagnosis list. Im now only drinking one or two low alcohol cans mixed with lemonade each evening and I ve even managed a few days without drinking at all. Ive conquered this at least!

Primal Scream Posted April 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Thanks guys Achievement #5 The urge to sh became to much and I gave in but I managed to stop myself from doing anything major and stopped at just a scratchAchievement #6 I forced myself to go out last night to see a band. It was hard work and although I can appreciate the music, I find it impossible to feel any pleasure from it. This hurts me so much but I know I just have to persevere and keep making myself go out.

tripper Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Hun you stopped yourself.... when urges like that occur it can be incredibly difficult to stop at that. I commend your strength at stopping at only minimal harm. Well done on getting out too... I realise only too well how difficult that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primal Scream Posted April 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Thank you everyone Achievement #7 Forced myself to go out again last night, I almost chickened out at the last moment but I did it. Still felt upset about my inability to enjoy the music, but at least I got out and socialised again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
