1:40 am Well, there is good news.  The pesky little mouse is gone...it's sad but I didn't have to see it since my roommate got to it before I did.  I think it liked the bait in the trap the exterminator left better then the peanut butter I put in the other traps.  Other good news is that nasty fire is under control thanks to the heavy rain we had today and the work of the 100+ firefighters who were working to contain it.  Most of the evacuatees have been able to return home except for those on a couple of streets where the heaviest damage was.  8-10 homes were lost but no lives and that's what's important. Picked up my tent today and visited my sisters.  Also mom and I went shopping but I didn't end up buying anything.  I'm actually having a depressed irritable day again and can't get those awful thoughts out of my head that I should die.  I'm not planning to act on anything but just frustrated that those thoughts keep invading my mind.  I keep trying to counter the thoughts with positive ones to try to turn things around but I'm not doing very good at it.  And in my frustration I feel like cutting or burning but I know that's not a solution...just a coping strategy that no longer serves a purpose other then it is sort of a security blanket to me since it's what I've known for so long.  Well, just about ready to head to bed so hopefully the reflux/heartburn I'm feeling right now settles down enough that I can sleep.  Going to go take some gaviscon and call it a night.

Nicolle... I\'m glad the mouse is gone, they are really annoying! Been there done that. Good to hear that everyone survived the fire. Houses are things, they can be replaced. I understand about your thoughts, I\'m struggling with that constent wanting to die/hurt myself too. But you\'re staying strong and I think thats great! You\'re in my prayers... Much love and hugs

Hey kiddo,
I know it\'s hard right now but try to put yourself into the Word of God, and then read yourself to sleep, ask His angels to protect you, ask God to put a hedge of protection around you and your fammily and ask him to put a hedge of thorns around these negative thoughts and keep them far away form You!
Amen.
