I don't either. Just doing something to feel pain, which leaves no mark, never has appealed to me. Everyone is different though. I don't mind physical pain that doesn't hang around forever (like a toothache, although I had a toothache for a few months last winter before I would do anything about it and I did miss that after it was gone too. hmm). I don't know. I don't like cold at all though. Maybe that's why I wouldn't want to do that?

I think that if you can figure out why you SI you have a better chance of finding a better coping method. For me it's usually about communication, or validating (or at least demonstrating) my feelings - proving that they are real. So I guess that talking to somebody would probably be the thing to do, but that's so hard.
