Amy Winehouse and Husband Battle it out
From BiPolar and BPD ramblings: Amy Winehouse and her husband basically got into a fist fight last night which left them both bloodied and bruised. Apparently Amy’s husband walked in on her cutting herself and about to do drugs with a prostitute when he intervened. The Daily Mail reports: At around 2.30am, said guests, the fight sounded like it had restarted – then Miss Winehouse was seen sprinting down the corridor to the lift, pursued by her badly bleeding husband. One guest who got into the lift to reception at the same time said they started shouting at each other. “Amy was in floods of tears. This guy was screaming…

Famous People who Cut themselves
A link from self-injury.net, a site by a young self-injurer. These biographies were written by the author of the site. They include: Diana, Princess of Wales Colin Farrell Fiona Apple Johnny Depp Courtney Love Angelina Jolie Amy Winehouse (RIP) Pete Doherty Lindsay Lohan Darrell Hammond (recently added because he came out and said he cut himself) and others I wonder if any of these people are also borderlines. No star is willing to come out and publicly say they are. I have updated the link to go to the appropriate page. http://self-injury.net/media/famous-self-injurers [amazonshowcase_aae6001f3f5766bb5a55f3fb147c3088] [amazonshowcase_fca1b973869626c648b4713f66c7a2c8] No related posts.

I recently had one ankle itch so bad that I took the heel of my shoe and itched it as we drove along in the car. I itched it so hard I scraped all the skin off. The wound was so bad it was scabed over for weeks. But it didn’t hurt when I did it; it did help relieve the itch. Well, borderline emotional pain…

Does DBT Work?
A study reviewed by the National Institutes of Health on DBT effectiveness: Pre-post-comparison showed significant changes for the DBT group on 10 of 11 psychopathological variables and significant reductions in self-injurious behavior. The waiting list group did not show any significant changes at the four-months point. The DBT group improved significantly more than participants on the waiting list on seven of the nine variables analyzed, including depression, anxiety, interpersonal functioning, social adjustment, global psychopathology and self-mutilation. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=15033496&query_hl=18 No related posts.
