Major headache
I've had this horrible headache for 2 days now. I don't know what's causing it, but my migraine medication isn't working. I want to just take another dose with some klonopin and see if I can sleep it off.
I had therapy today and it went well. We are still just in the getting settled phase and she gave me some worksheet for CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) to start battling the negative thoughts. I really need to get my WooHoo jar going. A WooHoo jar is a jar where you put in positive notes and then when you are down you can go look at all the progress you have made. It doesn't have to be about weight, it could be about anything. Gloria, my therapist, says that I need to put a note in there saying I haven't cut in 7 years. That's a long time, and I used to be addicted to cutting. I don't have many scars, but I used to have to do it every day, multiple times a day. I still miss it, but it's easier with time. Like any other addiction, you have to take it one day at a time.

great job on not cutting for 7 years, I am so proud of you!! that should definetly go in the jar, which sounds like a good thing to do. I get headaches too for no apperant reason and it is awful. I hope yours goes away soon. many hugss
I love the idea of the Woohoo jar! Sounds like a great idea. That is great work on getting to 7 years.
they have a jar like that on facebook. i posted it on my other avatar 79lbs and then i wrote a note that i\'ll never remember to do it. we do something similar with a jesus stocking for christmas (its my favorite part of christmas) and reading the old ones from years gone by. thank ful for this and that, the ones from kids are a riot.
i wanted to do part of my journal at home leave pages for that grateful for this and that, but haven\'t done that yet. they discovered that people who are grateful are the happiest. its a good article.
i think you should include not cutting for 7 years, that\'s quite a feat! xxoo
