Hi everyone! I am new here and hope that I will be accepted as a member soon. I just wanted to let you know that I too have a history of SI. I generally only resort to this behavior when I am feeling totally EMPTY-no feelings, no thoughts, no self esteem. While I do believe this behavior is not healthy it has been what has brought me back to reality and a basic sense of selfworth. In being so empty it is hard to refocuse your thoughts and direct energy towards a more positive way of self soothing
yourself. I quess one step would be to recognize that path that I'm heading towards before I reach the end and have little energy to help myself. I have much more I would like to say and share but for now this was a big step in itself for me. Thanks for being here.
