I have not SI since April. Thats when I found PC and members. I guess PC and members became my own lifeboat. A good life boat because since being here I have not SI.
Irl its harder though, I can understand how its hard to find distractions or alternatives to SI.
It did become addictive for myself, the chemical release was what I was addicted to. Finding PC and others to talk to about this subject was a massive step in recovery. I think I felt alienated to my 'irl' world; so coming here was a leap toward recovery.
Focusing on studies is a good thing to do, and exercise too. Talking to people who can help irl will be a good thing to. I found with a friend who I know 'irl', went through it too. Being able to talk to her about it helped loads. It came as a shock when I found out about my friend because she has always being someone I would never had guessed as going through SI. So our relationship as friends changed and it deff helped me come to terms with getting through that period of my life. She is a rock in my eyes. If she could show me that she can get through it, she doubly showed that I could too.
I hope this helped.
Good luck and remember we are here for you in PC.
