I've taken this idea from the bipolar forum because it seems therapeutic.

Dear SI,
You've been gone for a while now, but I know any second the urge will come back, stronger for each day you were gone. If you drag me back into the pit, I don't know if I'll have the strength to claw my way back out.
So the answer's simple: leave and never come back.

Sam, I'm so glad for you. Quitting is not an easy thing to do. But you can do without it, I overcame, so can you.

Dear SI,
You were my friend once. Well, more correctly, you were my only friend once. I saw you as some form of godly release, and you were the only reason I could ever sleep back then. Then you took the light out of me. And I still feel dark.

It took me years to realize you were no friend of mine. I ended up with broken bones, bruises, scars. Fix the problem by breaking it. It was all a lie. It was almost a competition to see how many times a human can break themselves and put themselves back together. But there comes a time where you get tired of nights alone, gauze, braces, stitches. I have to let my body grow over you.

I haven't returned to you and I plan not to. I am tired of you. I am tired of feeling numb. I'd rather be friendless than have you around ever again.

i never thought about this one actually.

hmm.

let's see what i can come up with here...

dear SI,

why are you so addictive?. why do you make me feel so good on the inside, but do so much damage on the outside?

why when i try to distract myself from thoughts of you, you fight back- and make me come back to you and indulge in the pain

sometimes i feel guilty that you are in my life, but i feel i can't get rid of you. i'm not sure i even want to

Dear SI,

You've been a part of my life on and off for over 7 years. It's finally time to say goodbye.. for good this time.

Dear SI,
It's been fifty days and the last cuts finally healed completely. That's not okay. Just thought you should know.

that actually sounds really positive.

hope you can manage to say goodbye to it for good, as you put it

Dear SI,
I was so relieved when I first met you. Then I learned that even though you pretended to be my friend, you were actually a big fat backstabber. I left you several times and came back each time only to be played again. I guess I've learned a lot about myself through you, but it probably wasn't worth the price. I'm glad I was able to dump you in the trash. Even though I still think about you sometimes, I know you're no good for me and that you'll never change. Maybe you shouldn't come back now that things are finally beginning to settle down.

Dear SH,

You seem almost as common practice as taking a warm bath. I don't think you're supposed to be...this accessible...this easy. And yet you are...

I've chosen to stay away from you lately - but the fact that you're always right there...available at any time...again, it just amazes me.

Dear SH,

You lost this time.

Dear SI,
I hate you. I was doing so well.
