Was talking a bit about this with my T today... figured I'd expand on the subject.
I have been SI'ing for about 8 years now. I have no aspirations to stop. I am a graduate student of psychology, about to be an intern therapist at an inpatient hospital I still injure. I don't think about the consequences, the scars, or anything. I still injure. I make absolutely no effort to stop. When I feel like injuring I do, if I don't-- then I don't. There are times in which I injure, that the process becomes rather involved-- otherwise, it has become quite casual. A lot of my struggles with SI have come from the lack of concern from others. In turn, I have developed my own lack of concern. This is not a f*** you all, I'm going to SI because I don't give a shi**-type of topic. It is just a topic that I wanted to start so that I may acknowledge how very casual the situation has become for me.
