can you break the next 30 minutes into chunks? what are you doing at the moment apart from MNing?

JodieG1 · 19/06/2008 12:27

Try and keep your mind occupied with something, anything. I used to self harm and I know how it feels when you want/need to. Talk on here, do anything. I have some awful scars that I hate.

I'm going out in 5 mins but I'll be back after.

copingvquietly · 19/06/2008 12:27

listening to the washing machine and breathing.its all i can do right now.

lottyloon · 19/06/2008 12:29

can you make yourself a coffee or something? just start with putting the kettle on...

go on, once you've done that you'll feel better and you can do the next bit.

lottyloon · 19/06/2008 12:33

its really rubbish but here goes...

lottyloon · 19/06/2008 12:34

There's two policeman sitting at 1am in the morning on a quiet country lane on duty...

lottyloon · 19/06/2008 12:34

when all of a sudden they hear a huge screeching of tires, and in the distance they see headlights on full beam.

lottyloon · 19/06/2008 12:35

headlights appear to be weaving all over the road and look about half a mile away. So...

lottyloon · 19/06/2008 12:36

about 30 second later they see a car come crashing through the field of corn opposite, smash through the metal gate and emerge on the road infront of them...

DutchOma · 19/06/2008 12:37

Where are you sweetheart? Still at the computer?

lottyloon · 19/06/2008 12:37

The car turns over 4 times. well 4 and a half because then it lands on its roof and then spins round 360 degrees twice over.

By this time its 100 yards down the road...

lottyloon · 19/06/2008 12:38

CVQ... you still here (havent finished the joke yet!).
