I've been having a bad time lately. Everything is going badly again. The urges to SI are getting worse and worse. I'm starting to worry I won't be able to stop myself. I have been working so hard on not doing it. Any advice? I don't have anyone to talk to.

I'm not very good at talking with people about it. I've had bad experiences.

I'm not sure what your actual technique of SI is, but mine is constantlyyyy picking any tiny imperfection on my arms and legs. It's very hard to restrain myself sometimes, because it does seem to ease my anxiety. What I have tried doing is substituting the technique I use with a less harmful technique. Like snapping a rubber band on your wrist or holding a piece of ice to your wrist till you can't take it anymore. Obviously this is not a permanent solution, but it has gotten me through otherwise worse situations. You still get the temporary pain but not the lasting scars or effects. Like everyone else said, there's plenty of people to talk to on here. I hope things get better for you

My method is scratching my arms with push pins and punching until my knuckles bleed and burning with myself. Ive tried those things and they haven't worked.
