Tried everything?

[Project Delta]

Well here's something i haven't seen posted here. Try eating a couple of bananas. There is a chemical in bananas that has been proven to make some people happy. Therefore i thought that it could perhaps help with urges. Everything is worth a try.The same chemical is used in Prozac.


Please post if this helped or not

Potassium?

I eat banana alright, is that why I don't cut my self at all(never)? Odd in many ways.

I don't two Banana, I eat 3 to 7 small or 2-3 large ones. Helps my bowl movement, but sometimes causes the blockage :P

No, you don't self harm because you haven't felt the need to do something like that, just to get through the day.

Bananas have nothing to do with self harming, and they don't dictate on whether you do or don't self harm.

but banas can get you in a better happier mood, if you are happier or not in the arghhh losing contorl need to cut... then you wn't cut, i think he saying that banasas can boost ur mood, so if you are losing control, it might perhaps help regain control

i ate lots of banas last week, this week i'm happier a 100% happier nad hyper. and its strange because i've had like the worst week... in ages... nd i've only lost ocntorl once over it... and i'm happy..? why am i happy ? ishouldn't be :( i mean the issue and situation i'm in i'm devasted by, like Gosh.... i was like messed up for two days and hten happy hype attacks... weird.... i'm not over it... i'm still upset but happy.... sorry i feel like i'm makign no sense....

banana's can get you in a better mood, but i dont think it would have anything to do with self-harm.

when i was self harming, i actuall ate about 2 banana's a day, and it didn't help me. but your right that everything is worth a try, you'll never know unless you try :D

... never tried it. huh. weird. i've heard some weird things about bananas though. just cuz they help make people happy in... other ways. *coughs loudly*

It's a weird one. It's all chemical and phycological. There are chemicals in bananas that make us 'happy', there's also chemicals like this in chocolate and things.
But it doesn't mean we won't still want to self harm, because for some, that's a need. Like an addiction.
And if we're aware of it, like thinking 'I've eaten 3-4 bananas, I should be happy'
that can add to our mood because it can either disappoint us that we don't feel great or it can mind-over-matter our mood and make us cheerful.

It's a tricky concept. :/

I don't think it would help.
