One other thing that I've noticed of late is this: Whenever I find myself injured, or find that I might be, I always take a note of it, try to see if there is a way to use it on my own. I don't say "OMG! I just cut my finger!" Instead, I examine the wound, maybe wash it so I can see it better, etc. I don't, right away anyway, head off for stitches at the hospital. I may find myself impressed at how sharp something was. At least that's how things go when I'm in a mood that is prone toward SI.
I also need to say that I am very glad that I'm not alone. I thought I was just being stupid and out of control. Until a couple of years ago, I didn't know that there were lots of people who do this, and for the most part, they don't want to. So, other than the wonderful collection of diagnoses, I'm not nuts! :-)
Dee.
