It's good to hear that you will be able to tell your pdoc today. The SI stuff just really reflects what is going on inside doesn't it? For me strong feelings / emotions that I don't understand or know how to deal with - it is a hard thing to stop because in the short term it can work - for me it allows me to switch off the thoughts / feelings and brings quick relief - it is only after when I see the mark, feel the guilt that I regret again.

I guess all we can do is to keep working at it, because I believe we don't fail until we give up trying.

Again, I am sorry you are having a hard time right now - hope your talk with pdoc is helpful to you - Thinking of you - SD
