How do you cope with your impulses?

Whenever the load is too much to bear, I'll isolate myself and do simple, repitative actions. I can remember countless nights just slowly winnowing sticks until they resembled orante javelins. I'll catch myself tapping a surface for what seems to be hours in the same pace. 

These actions calm and empty my emotions,  I just happened to be fortunate enough to find a well paying job that requires similar actions.

How do you cope with your impulses?

I have two impulses I have yet to conquer. That is my hair pulling and my nail biteing. I know they are a form of OCD. The hair pulling has a name. Trichotillomania.

I have to keep all of my body hair short. To help control my hair pulling.

Basically deal with the pain of not doing so through rational methods. In other words detaching yourself from your emotions for a moment, I have practiced this since preschool.

Depends on the situation. If my anxiety gets the best of me and it's all I have to pull. Then yea.

by Thrill Kill

I'm impulsive in a number of different ways. I rarely plan ahead, unless I actually have to, so I tend to make a lot of impulsive decisions. I have a tendency to do things without thinking at times. Temptation gets the better of me sometimes.

I lack patience and have a tendency to seek instant gratification, which results in anger when my expectations aren't met. I've impulsively threatened people and lashed out violently on a few occasions. I punched one of my previous boyfriends hard in the stomach in front of his mother on one occasion for turning up late when we were supposed to go out that night (his mother had temporarily let me stay there for a little while because I had nowhere else to go). I didn't even bother to ask why he was late before punching him. I just acted impulsively as soon as he arrived and found out afterwards that he was late because his car had broken down on the way home from work.

I've acted on impulse out of anger by abusing and killing animals as well. I don't do that anymore because I don't keep pets anymore. I have low frustration tolerance and poor behavioral controls, making it harder to control my anger and impulses at times. Though, I do feel that I have more control now than I did when I was younger.

I think there are posters here with worse symptoms than TK. Take the whoameye joke for an example. Choosing TK as target over and over again is way past redundant at this point. Just my oppinion.

To be arrested? Absolutely not.

Credit belongs to you though for catching me. I should have known my posts would reveal the truth eventually.
