Triggering (SI) - urge followed by urge

[riverdreams]

Its been one of those days today
i have had urge after urge after urge
some i have been able to fight to keep myself distracted
a couple of times i have given in
and right now i am having yet another urge and i am so tierd from all the distracting and urges today that i about ready to once again just give in

Every time you beat one, you win, and it will get a tiny bit easier to beat the next time, even if it doesn't feel like it...

Can you try calming yourself down, rather than distractions... one I use, that hurts, is to lie on my stomach with ice cubes lined up down my spine, listening to my favorite music, and you have to stay absolutely still until they all melt. Or do deep breathing, and focus on it... or chocolate... or take a bath... something to relax you. Cause distractions only work so long.

You can do it.

*hugs, hugs, hugs*

You're doing so well, and if you've been fighting this all day then that is a massive achievement :)

Maybe write things down, in a really angry colour, to get it all out?

You can do this *hug*

keep fighting those urges.
award yourself for fighting them off
remember the reasons why you want to fight the urges and take pleasure in doing so

Keep fightin it! It's so hard to keep yourself distracted...I also think maybe trying something relaxing would help. Or if you have anyone you can talk to about it. Maybe they could help...*Hugs!!!*
