| A wedding ring is an outward sign of commitment. It's also a beacon to other men telling them to back off. The vast majority (though not all) of men will not hit on a girl who has a wedding ring on. True. And, keep in mind that the OP is saying that she is perfectly willing to wear the wedding ring... |

| At first I wore both my engagement ring and my wedding ring together, but found that like the OP, I had sensory issues. The stone on the engagement ring would get caught on fabric, or else the whole ring would keep turning until the stone would jab the side of one finger. My husband doesn't mind if ... |

| One thing that has helped me is known as "grounding techniques". You can google them for a list of them and a bunch of ideas. They're usually sensory things that help pull you out of your head and are substitutes for the sensations of cutting. Exercise, like people here have suggested, is one of th... |

| As a former OT, I must say that OTs most definitely do not limit themselves to pediatrics! They have many areas of specialty; for instance I worked with geriatrics in nursing homes. I think that the suggestion made by KingdomofRats was a very good one; try to get VocRehab to help you with this . Wh... |

| As I said, I am a retired OT. We learned a bit of everything in training, and I just happened to specialize in Geriatrics. But I think that if you approach a VocRehab agency and ask for OT intervention with sensory integration, they can find someone who will work with you. When I was employed in th... |

| I see what you mean but I am not an artistic person. I am the computer and chemistry guy. The thing I was most proud of making was designed to blow up. That's not exactly something I can look to when I want to cut. I think I started cutting again because I got rejected by a girl that I can't stop t... |

I found that guided imagery exercise to be quite inspiring, and I don't really care where it came from. One can learn from just about anything, if the mind is open.  |

| Do you like crafts? There are certain crafts that require precision cutting that would give you something to feel proud of instead of disfiguring yourself. It's been many years since I self injured, but I feel your pain. |
