have you looked through laura's huuuuuge list of coping alternatives?
viewtopic.php?t=34500
might be something in there that helps (and just reading through it all should be a distraction )
i know that it's tough when you don't know *why* you're feeling so urgey

I am trying to post. I have slept, posted in place, read other people's posts, watched TV, had hot chocolate, and worked on homework (well...I tried). So far nothing is changing and the urges are getting worse. Don't know what else to try...nothing seems to matter. it obviously does matter, because...

done

why did you end up hurting yourself then instead of some other time? was there an event that was teh final straw? what was it? No event whcih was the final straw. This has been buiding up for ages. I've had it in my had all day, wanting to, almost to the distraction fo everything else. Hard to teac...

i read, noel. have you at least taken care of the wound?
11 days is a cool achievement.

Were there outside factors like drugs, alcohol, being off your meds, lack of sleep, etc? Can you address those in the future? How? Yes, sadly, and I should have known better. I swear I do it every time. I need to do what I mentioned above, think about what I want before I begin to drink, because us...

i'd just go to bed

i'm the same - mine sits there collecting dust :roll: i've read some people on here saying that they actually keep their tools at the very bottom of their emergency box, which sounds kind of weird at first, but it means that to get to them you *have* to get the box out and take out all the happy com...

fab, thank you

when i click on profile i get the error message
Parse error: parse error in /var/www/buslist.org/phpBB/includes/template.php(127) : eval()'d code on line 288

i was in the middle of trying out different themes, and i'm currently stuck in chronicle, which is hideous. i need out!

when you click send on a PM, it goes into your outbox and it stays there until the person you've sent it to reads it - once it's been read, it goes to your sentbox. so if it's still in your outbox, the person hasn't read it.

Hi eunomia, firstly I wanted to apologise for taking so long to reply to this. I did read this and was thinking of you. 151 days is an amazing achievement. thank you :blush: much appreciated. internet wouldn't work. Don’t you just hate that. I’ve become so dependant on the internet as a coping reso...

i'm very pleased you made it through. i hope you're proud of yourself for making it.

what had happened just before? i couldn't sleep. internet wouldn't work. didn't know what to do with myself :roll: what were you thinking and feeling? thinking that i couldn't bear a whole night lying awake feeling as i did. feeling ashamed of myself, feeling angry, feeling tense, feeling frustrate...

thanks for reading, understanding and replying :blush: but i do wonder if there's a way to turn it around. because the longer you hold it off despite having this sense that it's going to happen, the more you can see your strength to resist even when it's gotten incredibly tough. what if you thought ...

this is sort of a before post, but the usual questions don't really apply, because it's not a *right now* urge, but a general feeling over the last few days that i want to confront... i'm at that stage where i feel that an SI 'incident' is inevitable, that each time i fight off an urge, i'm just del...

gosh, it occurs to me that the B&A mods are really good at replying to these.... I find it's quite hard. :oops: *completely agrees* :roll: To see that something is hurting your child and not be able to stop it is the worst feeling. the feelings of helplessness, or lack of control etc must be incred...

thanks, laura

how will this situation or feeling change if i hurt myself? the situation won't change; i'll just have relief from feeling like this for a while. What is it about the situation that prompts you to think about si? what will hurting myself bring to the situation? what will it take away from the situa...
