Day 1 down and starting day 2. Not so hard for the next few days, but the challenge comes again on Monday.

I haven't come back to this in a while... but I haven't been aware of any self bashing here lately either. I have no idea what day I'm on, but that's okay.

Congratulations Gizmo and AngelaMarie!!! Awesome job getting to Day 14!!! Great job, Alby, for staying positive for so many days!!!

Intothelight - I am proud of you for continuing to work on this challenge. I know that as you get through the tremendous amount of stressors right now, you will succeed. Your determination and persistence is inspiring to me! :)

I am on Day 10. This is the farthest I have gone so far. It's gone by really fast. Even though I have been sick with a cold and unable to do all the things that I planned, I have not started negative self-talk. I am proud of myself for doing better. I started feeling down yesterday, but am focusing on nurturing, not beating myself up. I hope I can continue until the sadness passes.

I have a lot of doctor appointments this coming week, so I hope that I can stay grounded and not turn the stress onto myself.

Great job everyone!

I am visiting my family and I have not had a single bad thought since arriving last Sunday. Yea ME!

Every day we get through and don't bash ourselves is important!!! If we get to 14 days and beyond that is awesome. If we don't we still hit 14 days, however, not in a row! Keep on keeping on, my forum friends. Everyday we love ourselves is awesome!

I have made it through day 4. I am proud of myself for not blaming myself for the insurance company's screw up. I am also proud of myself for focusing on the fact that their procedure was flawed and not the service personnel that were handling my problem. It is the system, not the people caught in it that is bad, and certainly not me.

Tomorrow will be the real test as that is my worst steroid day. I have plan for handling it so it will be interesting to see if I make it through day 5. That would also be a personal best for me. Kinda liking the challenge of it. :D

Go Deb.

Well, this past Wednesday was Day 14 for me. And I didn't make it. Those stressful doctor appointments finally took their toll on Wednesday. I am also back at Day 1 now, because I haven't been able to shake the negativity for very long. I have a feeling tomorrow may be Day 1 too, but I am working hard to stop being my worst enemy and start being my friend again. :)

Way to go Deb!!! I hope that you got through Tuesday okay! Even if you weren't successful, I am glad that you made a plan to help you get through the steroids. You can keep what worked, change what didn't, and maybe next time your plan will work even better. :)

I did make it through Tuesday with only some mild anxiety, but did beat myself up a tad. So today is day 2, but it is so much better than it was.:)

I had some down days and the negativity is a sneaky little goblin. So does this mean I have to start over?
Congratulations DaisyGirl for making it as far as you did.:D
WTG Deb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:cool:
