For Those Who *SI*:I was so frustated and anxious a bit ago, to try and relax I was going to *SI* but instead i was using the ice method and it wasn't helping I needed something more dramatic so I was thinking maybe I should use the ice method on my entire body, then it clicked duh... take a shower with freezing cold water. So I jumped in and at first it was excrusiating (I don't think I spelled that right, lol) and was really weird but the way it works is it combines four different coping methods:
1. Pain- caused by the cold
2. Deep Breathing- While your in the water you shorta have to gaspe for air from the pain and coldness
3. Releasing Emotion- Since your in the shower your free to do whatever you wish and you can cry, yell, and calm yourself
4. Relaxing- Once you finally are getting use to the cold you start feeling really relaxed and better
It really helped me and I'm just so relaxed I might even fall asleep.
*So if anyone else trys this let me know how it works for you*
