Method i find to work *SI Trigs*

[WildChild101]

I've just been cutting strips of paper with reasonably blunt scissors and im finding that really getting rid of urges. Dunno why but when youve done a fair bit you look at them and its wierd thinking that it would have been on your skin.
Thought i'd share it with you all, but i dont reccomend sharp scissors, or to do it at all if scissors make you urgy.

[whatever]

thanks for sharing!
i've torn up strips ofpaper before, too, which can be quite cathartic if i'm angry and want a physical sensation of 'breaking' something. (as long as it's nothing important that i'm tearing/scissoring up...)

Sometimes I find cutting into a plastic soda-bottle or something helps. Probably not good if holding a knife is a problem for you, but I always have one with me and I don't use it to SI (too dirty). Sometimes just tearing paper works too - preferably thick paper so you have to work a bit.

Yeah, i find that kind of thing helps,
But it is quite shocking when you're finished, and you see the damage done,

Yea, I have random knitting projects that I don't want to finish and I've found that, in the heat of the moment, taking my tool to those instead of me is a better thing to do and a "oh my gosh...my poor skin" sort of thing.
