Scarily VAST list of coping strategies
Laura, that list is soooo good its the first time I've come across it. I learnt a new one today from a book. I've never tried it and I've no idea if it works :
Break and egg in your hand
Weird eh, maybe I'll try it sometime
Love Helen x x x xx

The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return

THANKS for this Laura,
A fantastic 'reference library'.....Hoping I can refer to it anytime instead of my 'usual'.......... sometimes my head is so messed up that I can't think straight, having this at hand and the way you've composed it makes it easier and very much appreciated.
Take care.....

I dunno if this is on there, if it is, I missed it. But one thing I like to do is when I get the urge I put little dots all over my paper. I try to do it more organized-like, but you can also just go wild with them. This really helps me when I'm at school and get the urges to hurt myself, because I have to have a paper out and so I just use the side area. People look at me strangly, sometimes, but oh well.
I hear a voice
"Your must learn to stand up for yourself
Cause I can't always be around"
He says
When you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
Cause things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that I'll always want you near
You say that things change my dear

I only just read this now for the first time. Wow! That was amazing, thankyou. I will have to print that

and hidden in the public eye
such a stellar monument to loneliness.
laced with brilliant smiles, and shining eyes
and perfect makeup.
but you're barely scraping by...</i>

Adding that - thanks Sorry took me ages to get round to doing thatkodora wrote:I dunno if this is on there, if it is, I missed it.

Actually when folk suggest new ideas, could you maybe suggest which category it should go in? Or if anybody has ideas for a new category, that's cool too
Thanks folks for all your ideas. I've now put this list on my website as well.
Love Laura

Two for you in distracting...
Search for your name in google.com's image section. Or any word you like. Then collect together your favourite ones and post them somewhere - place.. word document..
Here is an "ime" example.. <img src="http://www.nire.go.jp/~fgamo/ime-1.jpg">
Look up family and friends on the internet. I've found both my parents, my stepdad, 2 uncles, and my brother. It was quite entertaining.
