Starbright, have you ever heard the term, "Substituting one addictoin for another"? I'm a cutter/burner, and I know the struggle of cutting and the urges to cut when you don't want to... Do you realize SI is a form of addiction? It's just like drugs, it's temporarily fixes the emotional problems we are going through and gives us a sense of peace. By doing drugs to keep from cutting is only substituting the original addiction you have, which is SI.

I've sent you my information, as you know... I will do anything I possibly can from where I'm at to help you if you want the help. Reading your posts, I see me from not that long ago... Yeah, I still occasionally SI and I'm still working on it everyday to get better, but what I do know is subing your original addiction for something equally as harmful isn't doing you any good; emotionally, physically, or mentally. Please think about it.
