*Squishes Laura!*

Billy! 19-03-2011 09:57 PM

Can I ask you guys a question? Don't worry if you don't feel up to answering, but if there was an informal self harm support group in your area, what sort of things would you want them to do, help with and stuff, what would you want from them?

Doikers 19-03-2011 10:13 PM

I'm sorry Charlie , There isn't such a place here that I know of and I don't have an answer to your question :S

Billy! 19-03-2011 10:16 PM

Thats fine. I was just wondering what everyone would like to get out of one for my own (I should be starting one, I have a place to hold it and ways to raise funds and stuff)

Doikers 19-03-2011 10:30 PM

Maybe alternitive coping techniquices? Something other than draw on yourself with red ,squeeze an icecube stuff , something origional . *Hugs Charlie*

Billy! 19-03-2011 10:34 PM

Hmm. I'm not good at coping techniques. Me and the other girl who are organising it have both experienced self harm, i've been cutting for 4 and a half years and she's been cutting for 20 years so we understand what everyone is going through.

Billy! 20-03-2011 12:16 AM

Charlie n Mark n whoever else is interested. Theres an old post on here in a thread called, "things to do instead of harming" by squirelspit. It's a fantastic list that has things on it that I had never seen before and it's broken down into what to do depending on what you're feeling at the time. If ya have trouble finding it, let me know.

BWchick 20-03-2011 12:36 AM

thanks solo! I am just a perfectionist... so I want to seem ever optimistic (which I usualy am) but it doesn't always work...

hmm... I don't know rawwr...... it seems like a superfantabulose idea though!

Cazki 20-03-2011 12:53 AM

Billy! 20-03-2011 01:23 PM

*Hugs Mark*
I am just trying to look at the positives. My tutor has cut down my timetable so i'm only in for an hour and a half tomorrow.

Doikers 20-03-2011 01:26 PM

That was good of them :) You can do it :)

Billy! 20-03-2011 01:29 PM

Yeah, I'm lucky my tutor is so supportive. I don't want to go onto a different course next year :(

Doikers 20-03-2011 01:34 PM

Why do you have to go onto a new course Hun?

Billy! 20-03-2011 01:37 PM

In september, Because I will have completed this one, but I need to apply now for another course. But I don't want to. I know all the tutors in foundation training. I feel safe there :(

one_step_closer 20-03-2011 01:40 PM

Good luck, Charlie.

Billy! 20-03-2011 01:58 PM

SoMuchMore 20-03-2011 04:42 PM

Okay, so these won't be the longest responses, but I thought the ward could use some good old fashioned individuals

*hugs mark* How have you been?

*hugs charlie* Good luck! it is great that you have such understanding teachers. Hopefully in the new course you have to start later this year that will be too.

*hugs solo* How r u today?

*hugs ian* I hope you are alright. Sorry nobody was about last night when you were here. You can always PM me, or any of us actually, if you need to vent.

*hugs megz* Good morning! I'm Laura by the way. Welcome! (I know i'm a tad late with that lol, but I was out of town all last week so that's one reason I haven't been around much)

*hugs lindsay and louise* how r u two?

*hugs felicia* I see that uni work is keeping you super busy as well. Trust me, I know the feeling. Sometimes I wonder why I am prolonging school with graduate school lol. Hope you are okay hun.

*spies lia and squishes*

Life decisions are so hard to make *sigh*

FlyingNy 20-03-2011 04:51 PM

*Hugs Mark*

It's my 5 months free today.

Doikers 20-03-2011 06:01 PM

*Hugs Lia* Thats Amazing ! :)

FlyingNy 20-03-2011 06:21 PM

Thanks Mark :)

Doikers 20-03-2011 06:34 PM

I hope to get 5 months free someday! But one addiction at a time I reckon :S

FlyingNy 20-03-2011 07:06 PM

You'll do it one day Mark. I have faith in you :) And we'll all be here to congratualte you when you do.

Doikers 20-03-2011 07:12 PM

*Squishes Ya Lia*

ˈsäləˌterē 20-03-2011 07:55 PM

Thanks for the hugs! ~Hugs everybody back~

Lia, that's awesome! Go Lia, Go Lia! I got permission to call her Megz. I guess it caught on.

Laura, I'm still not eatin, in fact nuthin but water so far today, but I'm in a better headspace.

FlyingNy 20-03-2011 08:09 PM

*Hugs Solo* Thanks :) You really should eat though :(

Doikers 20-03-2011 08:19 PM

Please eat hun , Just a rice cake or something? I'm getting concerned about you :S

ˈsäləˌterē 20-03-2011 08:53 PM

Don't frown Lia hun!

It's so sweet of you to be worried about me Mark! I didn't think I would worry anyone. You care more than my husband!

Doikers 20-03-2011 09:10 PM

I give a **** Solo *Hugs* Are you still taking your vits?

FlyingNy 20-03-2011 09:31 PM

I care too Solo, I don't want you to get ill :S

ˈsäləˌterē 20-03-2011 09:40 PM

You don't know how much I appreciate that Mark! No, I just took that one dose of vits the other day.

Thank you so much Lia! I already feel pretty ill. I haven't really eaten, or even drank much since last Sunday.

Having you guys care more about me than my own husband is overwhelming! He doesn't care that I'm not eating.

Doikers 20-03-2011 09:46 PM

Solo , You are a Wardie and therefore you have people care about you *Hugs*

FlyingNy 20-03-2011 09:47 PM

*Hugs Solo* How do you know he doesn't care? I'm **** at showing I care IRL. In a serious situation I either start laughing or go all cold and 'couldn't care less'. But we'll always care :)

ˈsäləˌterē 20-03-2011 10:08 PM

I know because, among other things, he doesn't even mention it to me. If someone else compliments me on my weight loss, he'll say, it's cause she doesn't eat anything. So, he knows, but doesn't seem to mind. He likes that I've lost weight.

Doikers 20-03-2011 10:37 PM

I'm sorry Solo :S

Doikers 20-03-2011 10:42 PM

*Hugs My Wardies Goodnight*
*Extra Hug for Solo*
