I agree. Unlike some of the "harder" drugs out there, you can actually die from alcohol withdrawal. See you doctor. (S)he'd he so happy to help.

when is lent? I went to catholic schools till 8th grade and have since blocked that out of my memory.

If I had a life philosophy, it would be "Do the thing you're scared of doing." I SUCKED (S-U-C-K-E-D) at drawing when I started, and was terrified everytime the teacher walked past (terrified stiff --my charcoal just frozed in mid air) but in the end got a grad degree in art education. If something ...

Do multiple views by me of my own thread count as views on my thread?

After looking back on my experience for awhile, and reading your experiences, the hospital thing probably saved me a lot of scars, but as soon as I came home, I started SIing again. It was like I didn't reach my gruesome goal, and I had a one track mind. I SIed in the hospital with my earrings, it d...

Your sense of smell is the sense tied most closely to your memory. It makes perfect sense.

Run to your dorm room and back. Seriously. It works. Make up an excuse to try it once. You never know....

Find the highest intensity aerobic activity you can do in 5 minutes. When I was little, and in high school, my dad did this silly thing, and it worked. It continues to work. He saw I'd be sitting on the couch depressed and he once threw a gallon of water at me (he knew I'd catch it) and chased me up...

I find myself drinking, JUST so that I have an excuse to SI uncontrollably. I could just say, "Eh. I was drunk."

If you could say the earliest time you KNEW something was wrong, you saw the first 'red flag' of a problem with drinking, what would you say it was? When you did what? Or drank what? Or whatever?

I'm doing mine on multiple twists of memory wire. Looks like bangles.

Why don't you ever call me. I'm the only family you have left and you act like you don't want to bother with me.

and you're lucky it's covered 100%.

If you need to go, you need to go. You know? Rate changes shmate changes. If you need to go to the hospital, just go and worry about it later. My husband has a rare hereditary connective tissue disorder and sometimes, we just have to bite the bullet and go to the hospital. Not to be overly dramatic,...

Maybe you could get your shrink to find out from your insurance company for you. I hate calling insurance.

Thanks, you guys for sharing your experiences. They DO help me make sense of things. I guess it does make me realize my problems are actually real. I DID need that guard, though. My goal, before I stopped myself and checked myself in, was gruesome. At the first ER they didn't station someone in fron...

I guess I'm just looking to hear about other people's hospital experiences, that's all.

Yeah. I'm glad I went cause I knew SOMEone had to watch me... but I think I have a similar impression --not really helpful except for the part about realizing this is a real thing, a real problem. But I just sat there. I'm home now. I went back to work today, Monday. I don't know if I needed time of...

wow dude. thanks, exactly what I needed.
thanks.

For some reason this post (under coping) came up twice. Can you delete one please?
