Re: rough time
You're really good at drawing @outlander
So draw something really nice over where you want to SH, then you can't do anything there or you'll ruin it. @Snowie Your suggestions are great!

Re: rough time
Sometimes it is hard @outlander, we have to go through a few things before something has worked.

Re: rough time
Hey @outlander it does get hard and I’m not going to preach anything to you cos my record isn’t so great. @Snowie, @Sans911 have shared excellent things. In DBT you learn to layer skills. You do things to take the intensity down a notch so you can then use distraction or other techniques. As I said there are times I’m terrible at it. Hang in there and maybe try the ice or something followed by a soothing activity, something that passes time and is just numbing. For me that is anything I can become robot like.....usually playin* mahjong or doing a puzzle. Good luck with it. 💜🤗

Re: rough time
Thank you @Teej and i dont think your preeching at all.
I dont have a very good track record wih it either . Ive had it mostly under control except the past few days. I feel idont have very much if any control at all atm.
I havent learnt dbt yet but its something i want to do if i can find a therapist near me that can help me with it...
Im playing with a stress ball with tv on now. Can do physio and keep my hands busy for a little while at the same time.
