I haven't done this in years. I was doing SO good, then something triggered me and I sliced my arm in several places. I was in deep depression all day today, couldn't even get out of bed. I have everything I could ever want, why do I do this? Even on meds. Does anyone else have these extreme bipolar flare-ups even if they are stabilized for a while? My boyfriend was very supportive, he got me through so I didn't have to go to the hospital. I am rambling, not in my right mind right now, but for those of you who do this, what triggers you? Do you feel any pain? I don't at all, it dulls the emotional hell, too. Please tell me about your experience with this, I just want to see if there is anyone out there I can relate to.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I can't sut I have enough scars on my body don't want anymore.
you have to try and think of something else to have as a crutch instead of distructive behavior when you need to dull the pain like that. i wish i had a good example of something for you. i draw/write until my fingers feel like they're going to fall off, but that's not for everyone.
