bus

ombudsmen are the member advocates of bus. they are there for whenever a member has an issue that they would like the mods/admins to know about but they feel that they cannot approach the mods/admins themselves. they are a fair, impartial group picked by member nominations. in short, ombudsmen are t...

welcome to bus, lauri. have a welcome .

i don't have anything constructive that i can say, but i just wanted to let you know that i read.

Congratulations, ~starblaze~!

I am proud of myself today because I did not SI last night.

try to work with the feelings of being scared. try to work out why you burned and put something in place so that you don't do it next time. this fear may be something positive for you - it may get you to re-evaluate your si/the choices behind your si.

i am proud of myself today because, as i chronicled in my place thread, was very productive and got things done that needed to get done (cleaned room, did laundry, took out trash, cleaned catbox, went through stuff to get rid of), and i also stood up for my feelings and had them be heard instead of ...

k8ty was talking about this in #bus a few minutes ago, and i thought it was a really great suggestion. whenever you have an urge to si, go grab some play-dough. you can either mould into whatever shape that you wish to, or you can cut up the play-dough, so instead of hurting yourself, you are taking...

i can't tell you what to do, but i wanted to tell you taht i did read.

you're doing well so far

i can't give any constructive advice, except to just keep on truckin'.

i am no good at dealing with anger. i often let my anger get the best of me. v_v

try contacting the manufacturer of your bike, or go to the dealer that you bought it from.

Jeezus H. Breadsticks. 500 MB?

Daaaayum.

i am concerned about the direction that this thread is taking. while i know that we all battle with our secrets and our demons, we all have to face them eventually. when you post here, why don't you use it as a springboard to work on the secret and issue that you are posting? admitting that somethin...

very ill
urgy
disgusting

i agree with dbms - there are *tons* of suggestions throughout coping - feel free to read back a couple gazillion pages if you want, and the stickies. some suggestions from my end: - try to identify the feeling/situation behind your urge. try to find out what is causing the urge and work through tha...

nothing is a better urge antidote than music.

something i just wonder for all of you who cannot cry: could you try something else rather than just waiting for the tears to come? try something like: - listening to a sad song - watching a sad movie and taking the tears you will get from that and directing them into the place that you *want* them ...

heyos and welcome to bus! have a welcome :moo: and you are right - you don't want si to become a habit - it is a very tough habit to break. but you also should remember that in the end si is a *choice*. you have the choice of whether or not you want to si or seek some other kind of relief from your ...
