Last week I noticed that there is a possiblity that I use self injury to not think about something else. That sounded dumb. What I mean is that when I self injure then I can worry about the self injury instead of worrying about the things that I was worrying about. Once I did it I could fuss and fret over what I had done thus I put the real issue on the back burner for awhile.

I mention this because I wonder what it is that you are trying to put on the back burner. Would talking about that help the urges?
