Hi,

I might have another suggestion which I only gathered enough courage today for.... never been attempted before.... well, we're known for not being very successful at doing this.... but you can always try.

Today at 2pm I screamed out loud, as loud as I ever did in my entire life and as loud as I think anyone else ever did in their entire life (I'm sure I'll get evicted soon as well).

It worked - my ears are still ringing, and I have a huuuuge headache, but everything else is still in place, unharmed by my aggressiveness.

Good luck!

Shayla.

p.s: I'm glad you decided not to surround yourself with people who trigger off SI - no one should push you in that direction, it should be the other way around.

Anyway, feel free to pm me if you need to talk.

Take care

:multi:
I want to be free, I want to live forever, I want to know myself and be proud of myself!!!
