Last night I was sitting there looking at a candle. I was going through a spot when I wanted to cut so I put hot wax on my wrist. It burns really bad but it doesn't leave any sort of mark. I though this may be helpful to some of you. When I did it I didn't feel the need to cut after that.
i understand these things do have value but they are only temporary solutions. i have spent the past seven weeks craving si and now i am finally back to my freedom. i did not cut or otherwise harm myself and i didnt think to use any method of inflicting discomfort. i think even rubber bands and hot wax and holding ice can be si, just modified. progressis measured in tiny steps.
