i like free association writing, exersize, long showers, and the rubber band help a bit lately for those sudden unexspected urges.
still havin troubles though.
supporting others,...and telling other ppl why they shouldn't helps...
cuz if i say it enough maybe i'll hear it...but it's only temporary....it will come back again.
free assosication writting helps me get the feelings out...though

sorry i ment "it's only temp, it will come back again" as in....cutting/hurting is only a temp solution, and the urge will always come back again sooner or later

Art and music help me. Drawing, painting, creating something. Play a musical instrument, or just listening to happy music. It helps me.

    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...
