Uh, I'm pretty sure the first thread never collapses.

I think it may have collapsed now.

TW Self harm

[(Anonymous)]

I'm trying to kick a self harm habit. I usually do it before bed at night.

The other night I was successful for the first time in not harming before bed! But then I had five whole wake up screaming nightmares, and I think it's because I didn't get some emotional crud out before bed via SH.

Anyone got any advice on how to healthily process negative shit before I sleep?

Re: TW Self harm

[(Anonymous)]

Long term, things like mindfulness meditation, tapping (aka EFT), and journaling all helped me develop a sleep routine where I have way less nightmares and no longer wake up screaming/crying/in full blown panic mode.

In the short term, can you replace it with something similar that gives you the same release but is less harmful overall e.g. holding an ice cube to your skin or snapping a rubber band against where you usually harm?

Re: TW Self harm

I honestly have no proper good advice on resolving your problems entirely. I managed to have a nightmare just from the concept of black holes alone. But what I recommend is making sure to engage in positive experiences or new experiences in the day, and putting on the TV or a podcast as you try to sleep. Can't think about bad things from the day if you're subconscious is thinking about the podcast in the background!

My only real luxury item in life is woollen sweaters. I've found one I love but it's $120. Do I buy it???

Re: Advice thread

[(Anonymous)]

How likely are you to buy another sweater immediately after this purchase?

Re: Advice thread

[(Anonymous)]

Not at all likely. I don't impulse buy. It's hard for me to spend any money at all in the first place lol.

Re: Advice thread

[(Anonymous)]

Then go ahead. :)

Re: Advice thread

[(Anonymous)]

too expensive imo!

Re: Advice thread

Well, ask yourself the following: is it quality and a good price for what it is, will it last a few seasons or more with regular wear, is it a timeless piece or a trendy piece that will look dated in a few seasons, does it require special care/cleaning, do you already have things in your wardrobe that go with it or would you have to buy something, would you have to go without anything important to buy this, and last, do you really love it? Personally I think if you love it buy it.

Re: Advice thread

[(Anonymous)]

Buy the sweater, nonny, if you can afford it.

Re: Advice thread

[(Anonymous)]

If the money can be spent without putting necessities at risk (food, lodging, medicine) and it's a quality product that will last, go for it! As a sweater hoarder myself, I understand the temptation.

Re: Advice thread

[(Anonymous)]

If you can afford it and will actually use it, go for it! There's nothing wrong with buying yourself something that will bring you joy if it's something you can afford.

How much of your budget is $120? Is it something you'll barely notice, is it cutting-back-on-doordash-for-two weeks level, or is it gotta-postpone-my-phone bill til next month level? (Not to judge, I lived a lot of my life at the third, so that's the question I need to ask)
