using play-dough to cope with urges

Post by **Spidey** » Mon May 08, 2006 8:48 pm

k8ty was talking about this in #bus a few minutes ago, and i thought it was a really great suggestion.

whenever you have an urge to si, go grab some play-dough. you can either mould into whatever shape that you wish to, or you can cut up the play-dough, so instead of hurting yourself, you are taking out your urge on the play-dough.

i like play dough and plasticine because the smell reminds me of being a kid and that makes me feel safe.

Plsy dough rules its one of the things id always want, used to have a pack of plasticine when at uni really helped, but play dough smells much better and of childhood!
