1. call t
2 take a hot not scalding shower 3 do something physical engage as many senses as possible (without pain). 4 listen to praise music 5 call a friend 6 walk on beach 7 journal 8 call t my t wasn't too happy that when i cut i hadn't done anything on my safety plan to try and ride out the urges... so we revamped my safety plan to include him first and last... first so he can remind me of the plan... last so i can tell him if the plan is working or not...the only ones that need to be in a particular order are the first and the last.... i guess i am on a short leash again...i feel like he has me backed into a corner... because if i want to cut... (and yes i did say want... i wish i was in the place so many of you are and didn't want too... but that's not where i am right now)... and call him... he isn't going to say "hey lyn i understand go ahead) and if i do it and don't call... i didn't follow the safety plan again.... i don't lie well and the first thing he wants is a copy of my chart... and truthfully he says he can tell as soon as he sees me... grrrrrrrrr.... lyn

(((((((((((((((((((((lyn))))))))))))))))))))))) I can understand the urge and want to cut. But there are other coping mechanisms out there that are not so destructive. I think you have a great plan and hope you can keep to it. I think it is great that your t supports you enough to have you call. He is really just trying to keep you safe. I am sorry you are in this place. I am thinking of you.

lyn that plan sounds really good. riding the urges is so hard, they sometimes last for hours if you don't cut. your t sounds amazing too - wow - can tell you've cut when he sees you? rather freaky to say the least ;D
sorry you have it so tough right now. sending you positive thoughts.

Not really following the safety plan there... please stay safe. You're important. We care. T cares, and I know your friend who you've depended on before cares about you too IRL.

I can't believe people would consider you a means to an end... that's really sad.  You don't give up though, because you're very important to a lot of us here.
