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...
That is what I think of when I think of someone who addicted to SI. I think this because that is what happened when I decided to give it up.
go to this link-
www.myspace.com/bingodingo75 and go to my blogs, it's the most recent one.
It sounds llike you just get so pent up with emotions that you just can't take it anymore, and cutting is the only way to do that for you. My advice is to try writing a poem, or even better- talking to friends or a friend, someone cllose, or just writting your feelings down in a list, things you are mad about, things that you're sad//upset about, things like that, I have a bunch of other things that can help, I will post the list in a couple minutes as "Things to Take SI's Place"
as far as writing a poem and what not.. writing in a journal is helpful yes, but sometimes things are so bad and thats when I cut.
I have noticed however, that now that I am more open about my SI I dont tend to do it as much b./c i know there are more people watching out for me.
When you accept it as a symptom of something greater like depression or a mood disorder and not a disorder in itself then you might find that helps more.
read Cutting.. its a book by some dr, i dont remember the name right now, but it had some good info in it.
