Extractions: People suffering from anxiety disorders often have a physical overreaction to stress. This overreaction occurs because your body perceives everyday events and situations as threats to survival. In an effort to protect you, your body triggers the fight or flight response even though no real danger exists. There is some indication that an overreaction to stress is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. However, we don't know what initially causes this chemical imbalance. Can I change it?: Yes. What's important to realize is that if you overreact to stress, you can learn to change it, no matter how it began. You can learn deep breathing techniques, relaxation techniques, and techniques such as the Anxiety Pyramid (all included in our course) to train your body to react more calmly. ConquerAnxiety

Extractions: Self Injury (source: http://www.mirror-mirror.org/selfinj.htm) Self-injury (self-harm, self-mutilation) can be defined as the attempt to deliberately cause harm to one's own body and the injury is usually severe enough to cause tissue damage. This is not a conscious attempt at suicide, though some people may see it that way. It has been reported that many people who self-injure have a history of sexual or physical abuse, but that is not always the case. Some may come from broken homes, alcoholic homes, have emotionally absent parents, etc. There are many factors that could cause someone to self-injure as a way to cope. There are three types of self-injury. The rarest and most extreme form is Major self-mutilation. This form usually results in permanent disfigurement, i.e. castration or limb amputation. Another form is Stereo typic self-mutilation which usually consists of head banging, eyeball pressing and biting. The third and most common form is Superficial self-mutilation which usually involves cutting, burning, hair-pulling, bone breaking, hitting, interference with wound healing and basically any method used to harm oneself. Most people who self-injure tend to be perfectionists, are unable to handle intense feelings, are unable to express their emotions verbally, have dislike for themselves and their bodies, and can experience severe mood swings. They may turn to self-injury as a way to express their feelings and emotions, or as a way to punish themselves.

Extractions: self-injury What is self-injury? 'Self-injury' is any sort of self-harm which involves causing injuries or pain to your own body. It can take many forms. The most common form of self-injury is probably cutting. Usually these cuts are not deep, but sometimes they are. Women may also burn themselves, punch themselves or hit their bodies against something. Some people pick their skin, or pull out hair. How common is self-injury? Self-injury is far more common than most people think. All sorts of people self-injure. Often they carry on successful careers or look after families, and there is little outward sign that there is anything wrong. Self-injury seems to be more common among women. This is partly because men are more likely to express strong feelings - such as anger - outwardly. Many women who self-injure believe they are the only person who does this. Fear and shame may force women to keep self-injury secret for many years. This means that no-one knows how big the problem really is. Our experience shows that where it is acceptable to talk about it, many women will say that they have self-injured at some time.

Extractions: Suicide is a scary word, but here's what you should know about it. Most people who are clinically depressed do not commit suicide, but they are more at risk for it. You may have heard people say things like, "Someone who talks about killing himself or herself will never actually do it."

Next red tears Welcome to my little corner of the world. I wanted to create a page to share my thoughts/feelings and experiences as a self injurer with others, both other self injurers and people who are looking to learn more about and understand people who self injure. This is my first attepmt at a web page so please be patient and bear with me. I plan to add more SI links in the near future, there are some really wonderful sites out there. The icon next to the link to my journal will change each time I write an entry (I get tired of the little updated icon and I don't get the chance to write regularly). Still more time has passed. Only writing because I was here to add a link anyway and thought that I should update a little. I don't think this site will ever get updated the way I was intending due to lack of time from having a 1 year old to chase after and the fact that working on it tends to put me in a triggery state. Perhaps someday I will eventually get this all nice and current in a totally different incarnation. We shall see. Only real update is to say that I made it through my mom's passing without cutting only because there is something seriously wrong in my head. But that is a whole other can of worms. Which you can check out some of it in my LiveJournal at http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=silentredtears. Hopefully someone might get something somewhat useful here in it's limbo state.
