That's really great if you can feel like that from doing smething productive. I totally understand the selfconciousness and feeling bad about yourself thing. I'm probably going to be getting a lot of that tomorrow as it's Aikido gradings. Which has also been my added insentive forresisting urges for the past few days.
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare,
As any she belied with false compare.
ALL the heroics, ALL the days!
I've been away from this thread for a while, so I hope I don't miss anyone out in this epic post!
Hazel- well done for booking the haircut, I hope it went well. jpgs?
Laura-yippee on the potential employment front!
Allie- Well done for planning to do ambitious things! I hope your driving lesson went well? I also hope your cousin behaved herself well- small children can be hard work!
Kia- I'm so proud of you for making it to college for that half-day. Keep trying to go when you can, it will be worth it in the end [*serious big sisterface!*].
Alex-Well done for standing up to your grandmother. Although the consequences could be scary, in the long term, letting people know when you feel they are out of line is much more productive than hurting yourself :)
Annabelle- Congratulations on taking the brave step of asking for help. Well done for scheduling instead of flidding also, and for getting the zumba training done. And well done for going to CBT, I hope it was OK!

Andrea- Congratulations on making the brave decision to eat properly for dinner :) Well done also for not being disheartened by not being able to go out; I like the 'try again tomorrow' attitude :P
Claire-Rose- where to start? You have engaged in ALL the heroics! Well done for getting yourself to the doctors, especially as it required a phone conversation to make the appointment o_O Might I ask what a sweetson is? In addition, congratulations for going to your uni stuff, and talking, and eating food and then resisting urges.
Annabanana- So proud of you for resisting the urge to restrict, and I'm so glad you survived the ball; hope you enjoyed it!

Claire-Rose- where to start? You have engaged in ALL the heroics!

Thank you *blushes*. I don't normally do any heorics so it is a little out of character for me to post here so much. i guess I'm just trying to convince myself I am headingin the right direction, albeit slowly. I actually have no idea what a sweetson is. I probably mis-spelled/typed something epicly. The only thing I can think close to it is 'sweetcorn'? Possibly? You should get somekind of hero sticker just for the legths of your posts.
I passed my aikido gradings today! So, so happy, especially with the positive feedback I got. I had a panic attack directly after IU graded but I managed to hold it together until I was out of the dojo at least, and had calmed down by the time they gave out awards and resisted urges.
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare,
As any she belied with false compare.
I read the entirety (not sure that's a word) of your post Jenna... Thank you & well done to everybody else! You should be proud of everything that you're doing at the moment too.
I managed to get through the whole way through my dad's birthday party last night even though i was uncomfortable in a million different ways.
Keep fighting everybody. <3
And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears. And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears...
I am being a complete mess and a wuss right now. But it cheers me up to read that other people are doing good things :)

I am reaching, but i fall, and the stars are black and cold, as i stare into the void of a world that cannot hold- les miserables
Katy- Hooray for your navigational talents! Sorry I was essentially too lazy to come meet you at the station...
It is alright, you made me challenge myself to do something and I did it without completley freaking out like I thought I would.

I have been epic today... recieved all my recovery bracelets in an attempt to get started properly tomorrow/at midnight. I have resisted all the silly urges that appeared a while ago and continue to do so.
About to edit my RYL thing to say this.
Am I allowed to put the hero brigade into my sig yet?
Thanks, that would be kind of nice. But maybe not in the hero thread :)

Not so good ...i know as long as i keep reading the Qur'an and praying i know i will be ok ...have to keep busy because if i stop i know my mind is going to go down the road of cutting and i know that that's not good. For tonight i have to wait until my last prayer for tonight and then head to bed ...
Amanee, sorry to hear you're struggling at the moment, but at least you know to keep yourself and your mind busy. The urges will pass with time, and you'll get through this.
