Help. I'm having really bad urges to cut and over dose. Please help me with ways to over come these urges. I've been harm free for 63 days and I don't want to do it now.
TIA. http://www.shaneco.com/catalog/my_se...&cid=DYOR_YR_V __________________ HelpLess |

Thanks Kiya. (((Kiya)))
It sucks the longer I go without cutting or over dosing the more I want to do it. __________________ HelpLess |

i know all too well.
but, i trust that there will be a point (much like reaching the top of a mountain) where after that last push of having to go without, it will become natural and easy. The light at the end of the tunnel. Keep in the game... keep breathing. Get through this moment, then the next.. and the next.... __________________ Credits: ChildlikeEmpress and Pseudonym for this lovely image. alt="Universal Life Church | ULC" border="0"> |

Maybe this will help
If you have a bunch of coins, dump them all over the floor and flip them so they are all the same side up. Say the alphabet backwards Pick a room in your place and try to imagine every detail in your head. I do the bathroom with the mold that won't go away. Think of as many nursery rhymes as you can Unfold you towels and wash cloths and fold them again. Build yourself a fort, take in some relaxing things and camp out Corn starch mixed with water is fun to play with too. Its a liquid and a solid. Paint some rocks Get a huge sheet of paper, put it on the wall and draw your paradise happy place |

Thank you all. Yesterday was horrid. I got through it without cutting. But it was so hard.
Lyn- Stay strong. I read your other post. If I can do it; you can do it! Thanks for the ideas of other things to do. I will try some of them. __________________ HelpLess |
