Thought I would share something that has helped me get through the past two days without SI.... I don't know if it will work forever, but even just getting through the time I have feels good.

When I have the urge to SI, I mentally move OUT OF THAT MOMENT. I don't let myself get stuck there, thinking about it, wondering if I can resist the urge, thinking about how much better I would feel, etc. I just focus on moving into the next moment in the day. I don't think ahead any further than the next moment...I just try to move forward bit by bit.

I remembered that Brian37 who used to post on some of the boards here had a quote from Finding Nemo in his signature "just keep swimming, just keep swimming". That's what I tell myself. Just keep swimming. Keep moving FORWARD. Don't get stuck.

T e-mailed me and said it probably feels scary since I don't really know what I'm swimming towards, but that we will figure it out. And to just keep swimming.

I don't know if this will help anyone else, but it has helped me.



Sending peaceful thoughts to ALL of us....
