I'm sorry to hear its getting worse but ur not mad ur just hurting inside and dont know how to express it in a so called "healthy way" i have never burnt myself on candle wax because to me a candle is a relaxing thing especially if its scented. Y not try and see if u can look at candles as relaxing

I drip the wax onto my wrists, not dipping in, but dripping the wax sometimes helps when I want to cut.

I haven't done it in a long time, but yeah, I used to do that, but I never saw it as an si. I just thought it looked/ felt cool. Sorry to hear things are going bad for you. Just keep writing and talking until the wave of an urge has passed.

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...
