Why wear a ribbon?

MDJunction to me

jpcrps"When I found MD Junction, I was in the beginning stages of RSD/CRPS. I was scared, lacked knowledge about the condition, and felt very alone.

MD Junction changed all of that for me. I found friendship and terrific information from people who had first-hand knowledge of this syndrome. It was and still is a big part of my life.

MDJ was my first step on the journey of grief; from denial to acceptance. I am now inspired to help others by sharing this amazing site and sharing my own experiences. I am very impressed that one forum site can provide hope and inspiration to people suffering from so many different conditions. I am proud to be a part of this community.

I use chocolate ! sounds weird ? but, as I hurt myself in blind rage, if I just get that piece of choc in my mouth, the taste overtakes my other senses. Only as a desperate measure Wink

I compete with myself to see how long i can go without it. I keep telling myself "one more day" or "one more minute" and then if i finally give in, the countdown starts again.

*POSSIBLE TRIGGER - NOTHING GRAPHIC BUT ACTIONS*

also, using something blunt is NOT satisfying but most of the time if i use something like that that doesn't do anything except red marks then eventually I give up and the worst of the feeling has passed (but that depends on what's making me feels bad)

I like some of the coping mechanisms I've seen. I do journal, but sometimes doing that just reinforces those angry thoughts and leads to the action. I've used blunt objects before, but unfortunately it's been with a hammer to the knees. So blunt objects aren't so great for me. Got a staph infection one time and knee surgery the other.

Before my wife left me and took the car, I'd drive down the highway and just scream myself hoarse. Don't know if that qualifies, but it sure beats a 600 degree cigarette to the arm or a hammer to the knee.
