First off.. glad to see you're still here. and I have a very poor choice of coping methods for high stress situations. I either self injure or go to alcohol or drug use. but you know what, those things make my brain stop doing what its doing that I don't want it to be doing. it helps immediately, and is a much better help than meds or therapy... they just kinda have some negative consequences that go along with the actions... something I need to work on.
