now THAT sounds like a productive day! go get 'em!

what are you going to do with your day?

Good Luck, You can do it!!

Good Luck! Post again and let us know when you achieved your goal/s.

Thanks for asking...after my horrible day yesterday my goal is to stay calm, very calm.

It feels so wonderful to get things done that have been on your mind for awhile. You get to check those off your list today.

I have a little time off of work and plan to learn how to surf. I am glad you made a positive mental decision.

my short term goal for today is to think about and battle suicidal thoughts less than 10 times today. this obsessive battle is getting tiring. what i am going to do to make sure it happens less than 10 times is to distract myself so damn much with activities that i will be too tired to even think rationally let alone irrationally.

way to go, guy! That's the spirit.

Today I am going to work, exercise, move stuff from my storage unit to the house, and mail two letters.

Not exciting? SURE it is.

Whatever you do today, folks, - set goals and do SOMETHING. :)

wannaboog, my son and I also suffer from obsessive thoughts. It helps knowing it's just a thought. Tell it to go fuck itself. My son was like you. He couldn't stop thinking about suicide. He did get past it though. Make sure your doc knows about it. It doesn't matter how often you think it. What matters is how you react to the thought. It's kind of like the bully on the playground. If you don't stand up for yourself he will keep picking on you.

That's the way to do it nobody, make a plan and stick to it.

my goals today
1. exercise
2. clean house
3. appointment with therapist
4. recovery meeting tonight

my goal today is get my ass to work...i've already called in late...better get my butt in the shower...

denmore, ty, that helps a lot. and thanks to everyone else too for helping me get movitated to be busy and active today.

That's it! We can all plan to do something positive today. Today IS the first day of the rest of our lives!
