Are you in therapy? Can you ask your therapist to help you with some distress tolerance skills? It's really hard at first sitting with uncomfortable emotions, but the more you do it, the easier it becomes. It sounds like you need to learn some positive ways to sooth yourself and lessen the discomfort in addition to learning how to be uncomfortable without harming yourself. Good luck. :redstar:

i donk know how to stop it but ur not alone
scars are tattoos with better stories
it's hard to answer the question whats wrong, when nothing is 'right'
Not all scars show. Not all wounds heal. Sometimes you cant always see the pain someone feels

Have you sat and figured out what you are trying to get out of it? Look at some of the reasons why and there is a thread somewhere about ODing and peoples bad experiences with it.

That thread is here: http://buslist.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=57020

OD'ing can really make your life a lot harder than it is now. So you get depression + being on dialysis and needing transplants.
