Hi everyone!


Ive been dealing with separation anxiety from my boyfriend for a while now. Today is the first day we are spending apart in a few weeks and I'm proud of myself for keeping it together. I made sure I would have things to do around the house to keep me busy and it's working. It may seem like nothing to some people but to me this was a big day. I'm celebrating my little victories :) I hope everyone is having a great day! Things get better!

    My therapist really knocked some sense into me last Friday about my spending.  She said that there are needs and there are wants.  She said that there is always going to be cheap stuff to buy, but do I need it?  The answer is mostly "no".  So today, I am taking back some things that I bought online at Kohl's, namely a 9 x 12 rug and a quilt for my bed.  I also bought sheets that I don't need...
