Everything you wrote hits home for me especially the parts I included of your text- I can identify both with coping skills from childhood not working and creating chaos for us as adults and emotional SI being just as bit as harmful as physical.

I am just trying to piece all of this together...What led to it, how overwhelming my feelings were, what happened after...

Thanks for your reply.

As I am writing this I am trying to figure it out for myself and realize that without taking away what your experience it might be that emotional SI is just as dangerous or more as physical SI. The only scars are the ones that I have and no one can see those and unless I talk about what I am doing to myself no one knows.

I know for me now that I have tried to stop physically SI'ing I guess I am really dealing more with the emotional part of it.
