Either way - I didn't do it. But I feel like I'm getting tired of always resisting, fighting the urge, etc. I think ahead but that can only work for so long.

I have SI thoughts in my head constantly and when they get too much the most effective distraction I find now is just to wait for a while e.g. 2 minutes, then another 5 minutes, then until the end of this TV programme etc. As the time goes on the urge diminishes again. I do know though that resisting the urge isn't always that easy. I have succumbed a lot recently- - but when you can resist the urges it is a real accomplishment and makes you feel a lot stronger. GL, and I hope you can find some strategies that will work for YOU.
