Despite feeling great, not even caring what I eat, I keep having this weird urge to self harm. I'm ignoring it now, but it strikes me as odd that I should feel that I need to SI when I feel so great.

i get that urge at times even when hypo because i find SI fun to do sometimes so it's just like doing drugs. and my urge to drink goes way up when hypo so it stands to reason that my urge to SI would go up as well.

just keep ignoring it if you can.

I get that way to but it's just a passing thought and when I'm hypo I'm so distracted that usually I find something else more interesting now when I'm depressed that's a different story

My urge to drink went up as well. That's why my friends and I went and did a drunk Monty Python movie night. I didn't drink that much because I'm not a huge fan of the beer thy bought and the only viable mixed drink was rum and coke - and one of my friends made an ENORMOUS glass for me with 2.5 shots of rum in it... Needless to say I gave that to another friend (who's about my size) an now he's really drunk and DEFINITELY not driving. Plus I was having a had enough time staying awake as is. Ah well, we're going to have a more party-y party before classes start.

But I digress... Not feeling any uge to SI at the moment, thank goodness. I'll take my meds in the morning so I don't get sick, though.

I haven't and I think the thoughts have passed for good. hopefully. I'm gonna stay away from sharp things just in case, though.
