As you know, I am well aware of all those pros, but, if you look at them they are short term relief, it really doesn't help in the long run. (yeah, I know, try to tell me that when I feel that way!)
earthmama's idea of telling yourself you can cut later, or tomorrow, whatever to put it off, is a great one. I've had to do that a lot and usually the next day I don't feel like I need to do it, or at least not so urgently.
(BTW-- take that emergency med if you need to.!!)
