I do it sometimes in sted of self-injury. seeing a scratch on a disk or a break in a cup makes me smile
trouble is it only lasts for a few minits.. later when I realise it's broken and not how it used to be, I beat myself up about it (not just because of what I've done, the fact I need to buy a new one) and of course: I'm not made of money either so money gets tight breaking all these things and does it really work?. I just end up returning to do stuff on my body anyway. not really sure why breaking things is so appealing if later i'm just going to have to replace it.. |

I can empathize with this -- my thing is sometimes that I'll throw out all of my medications. It's basically self-sabotage, I know, but it makes me feel better in the moment I guess.
And of course, I will have to get new prescriptions and all. It's pretty ridiculous. Can you do something that is less injurious to things that cost money? Such as: punching a pillow or something like that? I've also heard of people snapping a rubber band on their wrist. Something that doesn't cause too much harm. __________________ "Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it!” |

Loud music, regular exercise and hyperventilating help me. throwing away heavily used items and donating lightly used items help me clear physical space and give me room to breathe. Then I like to rotate furniture, tidy up and reframe my living space.
