Sanguine Saturday Again!

I've rewritten this week's introduction several times now, I think it's time to give up on it and just get to the positives. This will start turning back around eventually if I just keep hanging in there.


Success Stories:
I'm still here.
I was honest in a situation where I wanted to lie in order to be a lot more destructive.
I made a phone call that was scary.
On several occasions I talked myself out of my more destructive form of self harm, even though I felt like it wouldn't matter.
I attempted some new alternatives. They may not necessarily have worked perfectly, but at least I tried.
I cleaned my room some.
I faced my fear instead of avoiding and told a few people something they needed/I wanted them to know.
I actually forced myself out of the house a few times.



Gratitudes/things that make me happy:
Giraffes.
My friends.
People saying rude things to watch me blush.
Music and singing along.
Star Trek.



Challenge and cheer-leading statements:
Even if things are screwy right now, in this moment... every moment is a new moment.
Messing up doesn't necessarily mean I'm a bad person.
How my family treats me, talks to me, reacts to me or otherwise interacts with me is not necessarily a reflection on me.



Shoot me the link if you post up any version of Sanguine Saturday (any day, any format, as long as it's positive-focused!) and don't forget to check out this week's list of Sanguine Saturday versions:
