How do you cope with certain situations, rather than waiting for the urge to SI? The main problem for me is that I have a bad social phobia, and tend to not talk when there are more than three or four people around. Because of this, I get the urge to SI, since I can't talk and it makes me feel infer...

<center> Don't quit when the tide is lowest, For it's just about to turn; Don't quit over doubts and questions, For there's something you may learn. Don't quit when the night is darkest, For it's just a while til dawn; Don't quit when you've run the farthest, For the race is almost won. Don't quit w...

might trig *SU* *SI* *PA* Mrs. C. Thank you. I don't know how to say it to you, in a way that would fully explain how much you mean to me. If it weren't for you, and those short visits in you classroom, I wouldn't have made it out of high school alive. You knew that I had used to cut, and you did ev...

I can try those. It sounds easy enough to do.

Thanks,

Right now I have jsut been limiting how much I drive and keeping track of when I dissociate so that I can see if there is a pattern to when/where. I'm having a hard time keeping myself from dissociating, but I have been trying to remove myself from the situation that I am in at the time. Any other i...

how do you cope? I'm not doing a very good job, but I did just find out that I have it, so...... What do you do if you think one's about to come out while driving? with family that doesn't know? at gatherings with friends, that you can't get away at? any other risky situations? I'm new to this other...

I wish I could help, but I don't know what to say....

Just wanted to let you know that I read and I care....

Well, I'm not very good when it comes to coping with flashbacks, but some of the things that I try to do are as follows: :star: write out some things that are good that have happened to you :star: go to a safe place in your head (this is some place - real or imaginary - that you have always felt saf...

1a. Does your family know about your SI everyone except my grandmother 1b. If yes, how did they find out parents found out when I was in the hospital ER for what we found out to be an ulcer, and the tech was putting in an IV; they told the rest of the family when I was in the mental hosp a week late...

Just a few questions, mainly cuz I'm curious and bored, a lethal combination..... here goes..... 1a. Does your family know about your SI :uhhh: 1b. If yes, how did they find out :uhhh: 2. Do you let your family know when you SI :uhhh: Why or why not :uhhh: 3. Does your family treat you like your are...

Do you use coping methods (healthy ones... ) in combination or just on their own? normally on their own, i come here, or i write, or i play one of my hand held games, but right now I am here and looking through my emergency box Name something that helps you to cope beginning with the letter 'A'. th...

*SI* Well, I put that they have always been polite and understanding. When I had to go to the ER for stitches, the doctor's asked if I was trying to kill myself, I told them no (which for the record, I wasn't trying to kill myself, the cut just happened to be directly over the vein and gaping open) ...

I don't really have any advice.... just wanted to let you know that I read. Quitting is a really hard thing to do, and I wish you good luck.

(((good luck wishes)))

here's a welcome cow.....

Thanks.... I guess I'm starting to learn that I don't have the self control to stop right now. My life is so screwed up, it's impossible.

Emma

Thanks for the replies. I don't have time to read the link you posted, Searching, but I will read it when I get home. Again thanks. I guess I've been freaking out cuz my therapist was out of town, but I see him tomorrow, so hopefully everything will be okay soon.

I guess all I want to know is what you think about to stop yourself from cutting or whatever self harming behavior you do. What I mean is, I used to think about how it would affect my boyfriend, but we aren't together anymore. Now I have nothing to get me to stop, and I don't really want to stop, bu...

Well, I think it can be possible, because I have been known to bite myself while I am asleep. I haven't done it in a while, but I remember waking up with teeth marks on my arm when I was 10. Anything's possible.
