I suffer from cutting and skin picking...the skin picking for me is mostly unconscious, but my docs and I consider it still a form of SI.

I haven't consciously SI'ed in 42 days.

I was addicted to cutting, and I haven't done that in a little over 2 years, however I have relapsed, and given into using blunt objects to bruise myself... So I haven't SIed in 6 months.

I hope so! Thank you for the support. I try to hold on to hope, but it is so hard getting out of the present long enough to see it.

2 days since I SIed by hitting myself but 10 days since I've cut. I'm trying to be "proud of myself" that even though I'm still giving in to urges to SI, I was able to satisfy those urges in a way that has less risk of severe and/or permanent damage.

Definitely be proud of yourself! You are taking steps in the right direction, and that's all that matters!!

I have only ever done SI on my hands. I always do it on my fingers, because then I can just curl my hand a little and nobody can see... Every once in a while, I go to my palm, but not enough for people to notice..

I'm having a hard time because I turned in my last tool today. My urges to cut aren't that bad, but I usually intentionally trigger myself and feel like if I don't do it, I'll fly away in pieces. I cut myself to pieces physically and mentally so I don't end up in pieces...makes no sense. Anyway, I wish I hadn't of done it on my hand because of Thanksgiving coming up...I'm terrified of passing plates at the dinner table and someone seeing. It is literally eating me up. I'm trying to heal the cuts and take care of them, which I don't usually do.
