Things to do instead...?

Question

I need some good distractors to deter me from wanting to cut or pop pills, I try to push it away but the urge is just too great sometimes... I took some pills this morning as an example

I am so sick of living like this, it seems everyday is a battle between sinking back down into cutting/pill popping or continuing on just going through the motions and bottling away all the negative emotions.

Sometimes things get too much to take at once... I dunno what to do anymore, I've been "stable" for awhile, but it isn't really stable, I feel very unstable, like I wanna just snap, but it isn't snapping, it is just breaking...

I dunno how much of that makes sense but please some words of wisdom/encouragement, anything please.

Answer 1

I know this isn't R & S section, but the real answer is that you need Jesus in your life. A relationship with Him (not a relationship with a religion) will give your life meaning and direction. You are wise to ask "What to do INSTEAD..." Wherever there is darkness, we cannot just try to "get rid of the darkness", we need to add some light. Jesus is that light that you need.

And relaize that God can use you just as you are - and especially with the life experiences you've had. He wants you to be stronger and actually BE a helper of others and not just be helped out of where you are right now. Turn to Him, and find a bible teaching church to go to this weekend. Look in your local yellow pages under "Non Denominational Churches" and call on Saturday until you reach someone who will give you some time. Go there and start getting the blessings that God wants for you.
If you're anywhere near San Antonio, contact me. Our services are at 10am on Sundays. They're in Spanish but lots of people are always translating for friends, family and guests.

Answer 2

Im in the same exact spot as you. im addicted to pill popping and cutting too. Ive been contemplating getting some professional help. Either a therapist or a mental hospital. But im leaning more towards the mental hospital, cuz then they can atleast make sure you dont cut or anything. I suggest maybe thinking about being admitted. It might really help you.

Is there a father within the condo? If so get him off his butt and feature him toss across the pigskin just a little. If now not discover a few male publicity for him. Most boys who play simplest with women and girly matters are simply going with what they ought to paintings with. If he's simplest surrounded through feminine household participants, peers, and models then what do you assume? I have one woman and 3 boys... my daughter loves soccer, motion figures, and wrestlin round along with her brothers. She remains to be very girly, when you consider that any curiosity she indicates in woman matters, she will get. She has a princess mattress set, all of the Bratz crap you'll be able to feel of, just a little hair and make-up set. So I wager what I'm pronouncing is do not yank away the barbie, simply inform him its OK to hike up her skirt each and every as soon as in a even as... to be able to talk

when i feel like taking more pills than prescribed, i call a friend i trust to take the bottles from me until i feel like i am stable enough to have them around. i used to think about cutting so i threw away all the sharp knives in my house. i lived alone and didnt trust myself to have more than a day's medicine at a time or to have my favorite cutting devices. if you dont have the stuff so easily accessible it is easier to get over the thoughts. i have overdosed a few times in the past but it was always when i had a whole hella lot of pills too many around me. when they arent around its easier not to take them.

throw out all pills pain cough anything you have if you still cant go to rehab, as for cutting it really depends the reason do you like the pain or are you giving yourself justified punishment for the past find out why and tell yourself there is no valid reason say it untill you beleive it, obviously you dont want to die cuz your here right?
ps if you really like pain then hire a dominatrix XD
