I checked out the site you mentioned. It is very comprehensive and has some helpful suggestions.

I've had a lot of problems with alcohol. It makes my self-destructive behaviour much worse; so I try to stay away from it. I find smoking a joint helps me more. It gives me a wider perspective and helps get me out of the vortex.

Its a bit different with me it mellows me down same with marijuana Im thinking of getting my medical marijuana card for that purpose it helps alot with anxiety.

I hate it when I get in the mode of hating myself and hurting mysel when I do it I'm not thinking clearly and get false ideas people want me to do it.

Wow,the meltdown pizza.
I've beat my head into floors,walls,hit myself with my fists,other objects,thrown items,trashed furniture,scream,bite myself,it felt like I was a gear that had been wound to the breaking point,or a piece of rubber stretched too tight,I am not safe to be around,a real chance for someone to get hit with a flying object.This frightened my kids alot,but when I reach a certain point of overload I can't stop the momentum.I have tremendous guilt over this,I love my kids and I'm so sorry I had meltdowns in front of them.
I realize now they must have been so scared for themselves and me,they felt helpless too.
I don't want to make anyone feel bad,if I start to feel any pressure build up I leave or try to change what is bothering me before it gets out of hand.
