NICE addition LN! i really like those other 'distractions'.

and your post about SI, boy you hit it right on.

One thing my old T kept trying to tell me is that cutting stops the pain/anger (emotion), but that it is ONLY an emotion, and its ok,to feel it. that i needed to learn to let the emotion flow through me. let it come...accept it, and let it pass right out...i guess our time got cut short cuz i'm still not really able to do that very well.

part of my 'issues' is that i learned very early to NOT express your emotion, that many times it made it worse, or elongated abuse. so i've basically grown up supressing my emotions.
and i recently read something that helped me realize that i was probably taking the emotional pain (which i didn't know what it was, where it came from or how to deal with it) and turn it into physical pain, which i new very well how to take care of. once i injured myself bad enough, then i could ''fix it', by cleaning and bandaging up the wound. i was always more calm at the end. the problem was i was injuring worse and worse i'm assuming to compensate for the emotional pain increasing.

so please, just be careful Llurpsie dear.
(and all others that know the struggle of SI)
