hi. i'm new here to the forum. i'm struggling alot with si (self injury).
i'm very depressed tonight and dont really want to get into my story as i'm trying to stay as grounded in the 'here and now' as possible to keep me from hurting myself. i haven't cut since i was in school last semester, so probably since some time in november. idk. i've really been struggling with alot of family stressors and school stress, but mostly family issues. i've been self medicating alot recently with alcohol and some otc drug use...it helps me sleep...and cope. the urge to cut just keeps getting stronger and stronger and i dont really know how to keep fighting it off. it's been driving me nuts lately, honestly. i also have ED behaviors...for me SI is a way of purging my emotions if that makes sense?? idk what i'm asking for really, just some support to know i'm not alone and help to get me through it. thanks. elena

Hi, I'm sorry you're going through all of this right now. You're not alone, there are a lot of people at PC who care. I SI too, and I suffer from depression. Good job keeping control of your SI. Please do take care of yourself, though I know how hard it can be. Are you getting any help? Do you have a therapist? Anyway I wish you the best.
