New Method of Coping!

Post by Chaocontrol6 » Mon Aug 31, 2009 5:41 pm

This is for the guys mainly but I don't know with girls shaving legs because they don't use aftershave...do they?

Well anyway I allow this to be a coping method every morning because when I SI, I like to feel the pain and get that sort of release. Sooo what I have done is bought some of that really expensive aftershave (Lynx, lurvely!) and after having a nice shave, just slap a nice big handful of that aftershave over my face. It really stings hard, but only for a split second, and it's that which I sort of use as my moment of real "pain" but at the same time I get to have a nice smooth face and great fragrance in the process :)

It also helps me get in a routine of shaving so stop my hairs overgrowing :)

N.B. If you are triggered by razors, then I guess this isn't for you, but I guess this all depends on how you approach coping methods I guess. This is just another one of hundreds of ideas and if one person uses it (even if it's just me) then it's good enough for me :)

These feelings too, shall pass. (BUS phrase?)

Yes, I've tried things like that with some success, too. Like rinsing my mouth with Listerine after brushing my teeth - the stinging from the mouthwash makes my eyes water, and it does help me feel calmer. :-)
