Just something which i find very usefull.

Two things needed. Wood and a tool. Then take everything out on the wood. Show that wood whose boss! But watch out for those splinters because damn they are a nuisance.

Works for me anyhow.

Oooh, I have one for creative *Waves hand in the air*

Once when I felt like SI-ing, I sat down a drew a picture of myself, trying to make it look like what I felt. I used all blue and black and stuff. And then round the outside I wrote the lyrics of a song that refers to SI (Hurt by Johnny Cash if anyone's interested - Some of the lyrics are in my signature* Well... I didn't really write them, just scribbled them in and made the bits that related the most darker and bolder. The I scribbled all over the words. I could still see them, but they weren't so prominent. It really helped.

Thanks Laura

I got distracted at # 230ish and summin

but had thoughts
Re Relaxing techs &
such. I thought of the benefits of the body and mind to do forms or meditation or yoga style medatitive practises... You can really create your own to suit you individual needs
(i'll pop in a plug for 'Meditation' in sourcebook:

that and..umm.. creative art therapyish things. Colouring mandalas, or create your own. There are lots of great coloring 'mandals towards healing' book out there.

I love this list.I will try some tonight (I'm not thinking about SI,but I'm not in the best mood either).

Here's a silly one.Fill your bathtub up and take a bubble bath.Then scream and shout things under water.Nobody would know that you're screaming,you're going to have silly fun with the sounds that are made,and you can get relief from all that rage.

Of course,be careful since this is under water.

I just wanted to say thanks for this list. I don't often get online, so I saved it some time ago, and I go back to it time and time again when I feel bad. So thanks

It's been a big help to me, and others.

Really great list, entertaining and educational, sensible without patronizing.

And I'd heard of henna tattoos, but had no real idea how they work. I'm gonna look into that one tomorrow!

Thanks for the upbeat posting. Take care. Later.
