You are hanging in there!

1 day

I feel so much regret and shame

Bill3 · Jul 19, 2015, 12:11 PM

Aw Betenoire19, I'm sorry. Can you find some compassion for yourself? You can start again and do well.

Haven't SIed since June 23rd, haven't picked my skin for a few days.

Bill3 · Jul 19, 2015, 01:53 PM

Good work, convalescence!

Thank you, Bill3. Seeing what I've done is a constant reminder of the disappointment I feel in myself. But today is a new day, I suppose, and I hope I can get by and do better. Thanks again

3 weeks tomorrow. That's good...I think...

Bill3 · Jul 21, 2015, 07:54 PM

Red75: I think so too.

Congratulations!

2 days, after not doing it seriously for like 18 years...(aside from fingernail scratches and such). Today I saw my p-doc, and she added Wellbutrin to the Cymbalta I'm on. So hopefully that will help the streak continue...

I relapsed after about 3 months or more.

Bill3 · Jul 24, 2015, 02:09 AM

QuietMind, so well done to reach three months or more! You can start another long streak.

TheOriginalMe · Jul 24, 2015, 06:56 PM

Three weeks and two days.

I thought about getting rid of my "toolbox" but I'm not ready to commit to that yet. I haven't opened it and looked inside for over a week though.

Bill3 · Jul 24, 2015, 07:15 PM

Great work, TheOriginalMe!

8 hours.

Jul 25, 2015, 11:21 AM

it's been litirally hours.

even i should be ashamed at how little i'm taking care of myself lately. (but somehow i'm not)

Jul 25, 2015, 03:08 PM

Today is the first day in a while that I haven't. (Hopefully I haven't jinxed it!)

Sometimes it can be extremely difficult to pull back out and begin taking care of yourself again. It can take time.

Please try to be gentle with yourself - this is not easy and hours is still a great start

Take it one moment at a time if you need to - every minute counts.

two days.

Possible trigger:

but i feel like i can't really call what i did two days ago real SI because the cuts were very small, shallow, and bled little. my pain tolerance seems to have gone way down. a part of me wishes i could still cut 'like the old days' (deeper, more blood, scabs to pic, etc.) i miss it. and that makes me feel ****ed up.
