what's your bus safety plan?

Post by **sine nomine** » Mon Jul 07, 2003 5:53 pm

if you don't have one, now's a good time to maybe come up with one.

what will you do to keep yourself safe if you read something disturbing on the board?

Thanks for the new thread.
Maybe I will get some new ideas here.

If Something disturbing comes up I look for ways to keep my mind occupied.
Sometimes writing helps my mind calm down

Great idea as usual!

In the past when I've been triggered by something here, doesn't happen often as I'm not triggered easily by other people, but...

I've talked with others online here or I've gone to distractions and distracted myself or I immerse myself in a game somewhere online.

rant to a mod in pm about it

talk to a support person irl if appropriate

write about it - so I can work out what exactly it is that I'm upset about

disconnect and take a break or sleep

* write in place, try to explain what's wrong
* go on the distraction board
* go offline and work if possible (=get busy)
* call a friend
* maybe ask if I understood right, if there is something that upset me and shouldn't, or report to the moderators.

I usually just read another post or go to the distractions board and post there.

If I have read a post that I find triggering and it is NOT because I am trying to trigger myself. My plan is as follows:

1. Stop reading the post and don't go back there if someone else posts on it.

2. Post myself on how I am feeling and what I need(a hard one for me)

3. Ask hubby for hugs and anything else I need. For example hot milk, my blankee, my teddy bear etc etc.

4. If hubby is not home or he is sleeping get my blankee, my teddy bear myself.

5. Color

6. Write in journal

7. Use my emergency box

8. Play on pogo's web site

9. Go to distractions here. Try to do at least one page if not 2.

10. Phone T, if I am bad off

11. Use my emergency numbers for the crisis line or the resource team if I am bad off

12. Go to work with hubby if I am not feeling safe at home and my T is not available

13. Clean, clean, clean

14. Go through my clothes and figure out what to keep

15. Go to the gym

16. Watch a mindless tv show

Really, what can you do?

I write or I go play pogo games. Most times I close off and end up hurting myself one way or another.

Sometimes I cuddle with my blankies and dog Samantha. If its really bad I spend time with my friend, If she is available.

she has been sleeping more than anything. Or risk taking to the point where she triggers me too.

Mostly I "go away". Its easier that way right now. I think about my SI plans, where everything is. I try to sleep

Its all damaging I think.

Someday I will be better. Until then I am always looking for new Ideas

This is a good post, something that i need to think about.

If necessary pm a mod and tell them about the post

Get offline~i stay online too long when i am triggered and this triggers me even more, yet i find it hard to disconnect

Go outside for a while

Do some work

Call someone

Throw AOL CDs against the wall

No, seriously... they're cheap, and useless. Well, useless to most people, but great for venting frustrations.
