Ok here are a few ideas you can try out...
Try distracting yourself with a funny movie Write down whatever you feel or think Draw. If you feel angry, write REALLY hard on the notebook, tear up some pages. Turn on some music really loud and sing along LOUD with it Ask someone to spend time with you (you don't have to say why) Go to a public place, maybe the grocery store Check out the distractions forum here or search the web for jokes Eat some chocolate! yum!! If you're sad or anxious, cuddle with a calm pet or teddy bear Committ to not cutting tonight, and see if you still want to tommorrow: or if this seems too hard to do, committ to not cutting for an hour, then post and tell us how it's going BEFORE you allow yourself to consider cutting again. If none of this is helping you, post again and tell us more about you and what's going on, and I'll try to help you better. Ok?

I am SOOOO happy for you that you have a friend you can talk to about this stuff!!!
 Isn't that the best experience ever??? I remember telling a roommate about it one time, and she was SO compassionate and sweet. She gave me a hug, and talked to me about my feelings and gave me some advice on dealing with them. I was amazed at how good she was at it, too because I was the only person she knew who had a problem with si! Anyway, I am really happy that you got yourself some help, love, and support last night!! WAY TO GO!!!  Angela

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
