I have been having the urge lately to do something I am not supposed to do. I have wanted to cut but I told myself that if I didn't cut for a year I would get a tattoo (something I have wanted for a couple years) as a reward. I've also thought of getting drunk. I have never had more than a glass of wine before. I am not supposed to drink because I am on effexor though. Another option that has occurred to me is to get high but I'm really not the type of person that does drugs. I would be too scared I would get caught or do something stupid. I just feel like I need some sort of outlet but something more on the naughty/dangerous side. I'm worried I am going to end up doing something stupid. I don't know what to do.

Lol. I understand. Writing about it is just a small, rather tame outlet. When I want to do something naughty I go to a frat party and dance. Its fun, safe and definately distracting. You're about that age, so go out and go 'dirty dancing' :P

Hey, just read ur comments.. when i feel like cutting i go and sit with people, friends or whoever. Conversation helps. I find drinking worse because i usually then cut when i get in and wake up the next morning and think how silly i was.. go out or do something, cinema or something sociable... think of that tatoo u want aswell:)

i know...its hard but you can do it. You can stay safe. Try writing down all your negative thoughts then rip them all up. Or do something good for yourself---get a massage or a haircut... I'm here if you need someone to talk to

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
