ok, here's an idea

basically, the idea is to say what you did last time you wanted to self-injure and didn't. or why you didn't self injure. so why or how you didn't self injure.

can't really post on this thread myself

but lets hope i will soon

i think that my natural tendency to procrastinate has actually served me well for this.

i just keep putting it off, and putting it off . . .

because my poor body doesn't deserve it. because charlene loves me. because i do not want to do that, and it is a choice. because i dont' have blades anymore.
because everyone knows and i dont' wnat them know if i si again.

I didn't because I suspected that my motivations were along the lines of 'up yours' to somebody who had upset me. I don't give a toss about hurting myself to hurt myself but I refuse to hurt myself to hurt others. Okay, that's not particularly generally applicable but I'm pleased I could see that enough. I'm not good at spotting my motivations.

i painted a picture of a cut up arm... as opposed to cutting up my arm.

Last time I wanted to I didn't because I know how much it upsets my mom, and how much she cares and wants me to get better. So, I went and watched a movie with my mom and my dog.

made a cup of peppermint tea
tv was on - the 'barefoot' doctor being interviewed and showed you how to generate kidney energy to stop feeling anxious. I did the various things and felt more motivated to carry on studying.

here's one that he said:

put your hands on your hips with thumbs pressing into your lower back. rub thumbs into back a few times.
then put both fists just above where your thumbs were and press firmly in small circles, into your lower back.

it's good also for if you don't know why you're feeling anxious.

I text messaged my best friends until someone replied, well actually a couple of people replied and told them i really needed a chat about nothing so we chatted about rubbish til i fell asleep.

Friends are my favourite way to avoid SI.

I handed my blades to a friend and went for a LONG, LOOOONG WALK.

I didn't because my friend was worried about me and really wanted to help me. Plus I was very, very tired.

because, for me, SI has become a stupid way of dealing with what is really going on and I've learned that to deal with the real issue instead of taking it out on myself and cutting my own skin is much healthier.
