Really really good job, LettinGO!



The cravings will decrease with time. Hang in there!

What has helped you avoid SI for so long?
Thanks for this!

Thank you very much!

I'm not really sure, honestly. SI was a "new" thing for me that just came out of the blue not that long ago. I indulged the craving and found great pleasure and release from the activity. It became more frequent and necessary.

When I went IP in January, I "confessed" to a couple of people who really care about me and promised that I wouldn't engage in the behavior any more. Those types of promises are not generally beneficial but I have managed to keep it.

Also, I am an old woman. While I completely understand any and all self-destructive coping mechanisms, I have managed to go through life so far with a debilitating MI without developing an addiction, eating disorder, or other harmful coping mechanism....until my SI.

I just work really hard at distracting myself and finding something else to soothe myself in the moment. So far it is working.

Thank you for the praise and encouragement!

Until today, it was 1 year, 4 months, and 20 days.

Possible trigger:
because I felt, like always, extremely disgusted with myself and I feel no one cares. I feel so ashamed of myself...
