I write poetry and other things (stories, journaling). I find it helpful because I feel like it gets all that torment out of me and allows me to express all the pain etc. that I causes me to cut. I even write about my cutting.

I have found poetry, and writing in general very helpful. Sometimes I even write short stories with diff characters who are going through similar things or experience similar emotions. Having something written out like that can help me distance myself and provide clarity and ideas/answers. But overall, I think writing of any kind can be helpful. I love poetry, and various poets in general, so I have found it very helpful in my mental health journey.

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...
