Re: Substitution.

I thought so too. It was only when the fact that I am still going through the same routine, and allowing the same emotions to happen was brought to my attention that I began to doubt it. I hate the way that everything I think is an achievement, isn't.

Re: Substitution.

If I had any idea what one was I might! The pen doesn't cause any damage, it's just the feeling that is a good substitute.

Re: Substitution.

ok, well the thing that I am doing is using a pen to mark what I want to do. But I am not using a soft one, so it almost mimics the skin breaking feeling.

Substitution.

OK, bit of an odd question. Is substituting a behaviour for self harm unhealthy long term? I am doing something that creates a lot of the same sensations, but doesn't damage me in the same way. I'm wondering if this is just another way to block myself off from the feelings long term though. I'm ok w...

Re: Before *LA*

From what I can establish, she wasn't being. I've asked her outright, and the only thing she's said is that she was scared of being a single mum with no money. I know that it is still possible, even with her saying that, but I just don't remember seeing fear in her. Challenges and hugs are fine. The...

I've told her that I'm leaving soon to go to the states for at least three months and she's flipping out in lots of ways, an...
