Welcome, saving_grace,

It has been so nice for me to have people here who understand and can handle talking about SI. People who haven't experienced it can have a hard time with it, and it's hard to find people who are willing to talk about it. It helps to know that you aren't alone - that other people do it too. That was what I was looking for when I found this site.

For me, sometimes SI is coping. Maybe talking about it here will help you to cope better.
