Feeling kind of anxious today

[yellowdaisytattoo]

Hello,
I posted here for the first time yesterday, and I found it comforting, so I wanted to send out a general thank you. As for today, I am trying to distract myself - I'm feeling those anxious uncomfortable feelings that make me want to go b/p, and I'm trying to fight it, but it's just hitting in waves! I had a good day yesterday, but today it seems to have come back full force. That's all. Thanks for listening!

....or yellow....or tatt

Hello! I'm sorry I didn't get to this yesterday, but I am curious as to how the rest of your day went. Yes, those feelings come and go, knocking us to our feet (literally). It's that damn ED voice. We need to learn how to shut it off, or at least stop listening to it.

Trying to distract yourself is a wonderful way to quelch the b/p urges. You came to the :bowl ~ that was good :supergrin !! So, did it help?

Remember, recovery is a process. We will have our good days and bad days. It's best to look back at our bad days and figure out "why"? Or "what happened"? I'm slowly learning this. I'm learning what triggers my b/p episodes and then why exactly do I do it.... So yesterday, think about WHY these urges were hitting you so hard. Were you alone? Did something bad/sad just happen to you? Somebody say something to you you didn't like? What started that little demonic ED voice??

But talking to the other :fishy is a good distraction. Tell us what you're feeling!!!! Let it out :surprise .... I used him in place of someone screaming!!!

Keep :kick daisy

I take it from your name you have a yellow daisy tatt? I have two tatts, I'd like to get another one, but not sure what I'd get. I have a red and purple (!!!) rose and a dark, ominous cloud with lightning coming out~~I LOVE lightning. :supergrin

:peace to you my friend
:love

Hello :hugon purple_tao :hugoff! (this is my first attempt at using these super cute icons!) The rest of my day actually went okay, thanks! I took some time to write in my journal and that helped a bit, I also talked to an OA friend last night, which was a great comfort - especially since nights are SO HARD for me!

Yes, I do in fact have a yellow daisy tattoo, my best friend and I went and got our tattoos together about a year ago - we made a day of it and we had so much fun, that it's my constant reminder of one of the best days I ever had! I'm thinking about getting another small one somewhere, but I haven't decided what I want yet!
