Sweetie, you had a set back ... it's not the end of the world, thank God. It takes a lot of strength to come here with your story. Your friends will rally around you with lots of gentle hugs. You need to read what they say ... then read it again! ... because they will all tell you you're not worthless, that you're not alone, and that you don't deserve the pain you're feeling!

I'm still learning about SI but I know one thing. When you cut yourself, it's because the pain has gotten so bad that the urges win. It's an addiction, Mommy. You've already proven you're stronger than IT is because you went 65 days without SI.

So ... now you start counting again. Slowly. Stay away from SI for an hour ... even a minute ... and the days will start to pile up again. You're strong! You don't deserve this pain! You are loved! (((((((((((((Mommy))))))))))))

Sending lots and lots of gentle hugs your way. Stay strong ... read the "reasons not to SI" and the suggestions from your friends about what "to do instead of SI." Hang tough!
