Well, people have tried to set up plans like that for me but I never actually use them. By the time I get to the point of actually cutting I don't care about the consequences anymore.
I feel I am making some progress in therapy... I get very emotional in there. I feel like we talk about the same stuff over and over sometimes. I don't remember exactly what we talk about but sometimes it is about my self-esteem and sometimes it is about my coping skills but I don't do so well with that.

I know exactly how you feel. I stopped going to school for 5 months in 10th grade. Is there something like an Alternative High School or Adolescent Day Treatment in your area where you could get schooling? I went to ADT at an Alternative High School, ended up graduating with a Regents Diploma and am at a 4 year college for teaching. Things can work out!! I promise!! Needless to say, I am struggling very much right now, but not nearly as bad as i was last year and previous years. I sought help pretty much immediately when I started struggling. Reach out, my dear. It is the best thing to do. I will be praying (that is, if you don't mind) for you and your healing. A life without SI is possible!! I did it for 5 and a half years and for the past 6 months have only done it twice which is huge for me. I was at up to 4 times a day at home and about the same at school daily. I hope you feel better really, really soon. You deserve it!!
