michelle421, Thank you for your encouragement. As I'm learning to accept and understand DID, I'm finding it a bit overwhelming taking my different parts' feelings about SI into consideration and realizing the effects it has on each. I'm glad things are going better for your partner. She's lucky to have you, and you her

Cris, lol... that made me smile. Little understands perfectly! She had to take one of her bears out of its jogging outfit because apparently it was too hot. Now the bear is wearing a little summer dress.

My appointment was difficult and I slept for a few hours when I got home. I did tell my T about my SI. I guess I can't really talk too much more about it. Kinda hurts a lot. Sad.

No hurting myself today. I think I'll be able to not do that for a while. A little worried about potential infection from one batch of injuries...will need to watch.

Last week was really stressful. Those stressors are all still in my life and in full swing, but I'm going to try to step back a little bit from them - for the next few days anyway. Try to get some kind of perspective.

I'm not usually one to give myself much slack, but even I can see I really need to baby myself some this week. My mind needs a break from hurting and being scared and confused! Just a little breather. Just for a little while.

Thank you everyone for your kindness.
