Sorry to hear the urges are strong for you bluething.
Breaking up the day into hours is definitely a tactic I have heard that is helpful.
Do you find anything else helps you surf the urges?
I feel really rubbish today. Feel physically wiped of energy and that usually happens when I feel mentally rubbish. Just been reading and watching tv and planning my next baking session. Dreading tomorrow though.
There there baby, it's just text book stuff, it's in the ABC of growing up...
I used to have quite a few tactics for urge surfing but gradually became a bit disillusioned with them all. I remember one therapist I had used to get me to throw an Argos catalogue at the floor as hard as I could if I had an anger based urge... it was surprisingly brilliant, also you can't be too emotional when you imagine how hilarious you must look throwing a catalogue around a room with the full force of your anger... :P
Planning a baking session sounds heavenly, I need to get back into that. How come you're dreading tomorrow?
I've got to go to get some stitches out today, need to phone to see a nurse and then go in. I'm so worried I'll get someone who smothers me in judgement and lectures. Wish people who don't understand the whys and wherefores of this kind of thing would keep it to themselves.
I got through the worst part of today! Looking forward to later this afternoon before the sun sets when I usually go for a walk. My favourite time of the day.
How is everyone doing?
There there baby, it's just text book stuff, it's in the ABC of growing up...
Im stressed and worried about my weight (being too high)
I envy those who have families or at least one family member who is there for them. My family disowned me April 2012, so 2 1/2 years ish. Mum kept out of things, easy for her as she is profoundly deaf. Dad was the trouble maker and my sister copied them. They live a 5 minute drive from my house yet they have/are moving to Dumfries in scotland now. what makes me sad is that they cannot detour 5 minutes to say goodbye before they embark on a 6 hour drive to their new home esp as they have no reason to ever come back to my /their (now to be old) home cityI knew they hated me but...
whats up blue thing?

Owww, that sounds really difficult. I wish I could offer some advice but all I can say is that it's often the people society perceive as closest to us that can cause the most damage. I'm sorry you're family can't understand things and have turned that into some very unhelpful behavioural patterns. I have no family support either, I don't see my Mum much and Dad died almost a year ago. He was in his seventies and abusive, but I find it helps to remove the convention of family from my mind and see them as people who I can't get along with. It's horrible when you see people with loving parents and the jealously kind of eats at you, I know where you're coming from, hugs.
I'm struggling with a few things, today is a bad anniversary for me, so feeling very low and confused.
However, I just went on iPlayer and started an episode of Never Mind the Buzzcocks and saw Adam Ant was one of the guests, so I'm genuinely in a better mood now... :P Take the little things, eh?
It's ridiculous how thrilled I am to see Adam Ant on a comedy panel show!
Was just diagnosed today along with DID. I feel like I got hit by a ton of bricks. I finally let someone in my head for them to just say they didn't know if they could help me or if there is help for me. Really?? I'm going to stop there because I'm dangerously angry. Gonna go play in distractions. *Hugs* to all having a hard day today. And thanks for this thread!! xoxo
Morning Guys .
I feel rough Mentally and Physically .
Not really looking forward to my birthday on Friday , going to my parents for a bit tomorrow .

EDIT:- My SW basically pointed out that I've put on weight as soon as he saw me for the first time in about 2 months . I mean he is supposed to support me . I've had no Pro support in months as everyone is/was off sick , the CMHT didn't phone or write one time , it is all over my notes that I suffer from anxiety and find it really hard to make the phone call :(

smallbluething, i find it is the small things in life that give me most pleasure too. I love the x factor on saturday, others may hate it but it keeps me out of mischief! I also like feeding my geese some bread each day (and the chickens!)
Sorry to hear about your lack of support Mark *squishes*
Dying to be free welcome to our friendly thread!
