I'm feeling bad right now
 and I'm realizing that the list of distractions and alternatives that T and I made together isn't really helpful. Mostly because I SI when I am angry with myself and I want to be self destructive. It doesn't help to take out my anger on something else because then I am not punishing myself. I have alternatives that don't involve SI, like drinking, but since they are self-destructive they aren't much better. Advice? |

 I can relate to that feeling of self destructiveness and self directed anger. It's very hard for me not to SI when I feel that way. The best way for me to avoid it is to distract myself until the feeling passes and the anger subsides. Being with other people makes it impossible for me to SI so that is often a good way to keep myself safe. I know how hard it is to fight for yourself when you want to destory yourself. Remember- you can do this!

How about talking to someone about your anger?

Go running. Punish yourself to exhaustion then carry on. And it takes you away from the ability to SI
