<font color="green">No cutting or stabbing with pins allowed so what does a person do with a panic attack? This brainless wonder started pinching herself on the inside of her biceps – so now I have loverly purple and blue marks all over there. The little bites of pain help just like the cutting used to, so once again I am doing SI. Maybe I will never be able to really stop.

Don't be so hard on yourself. It's hard to quit SI, and you did a good job not cutting or stabbing yourself with pins. You'll be able to stop, it just takes time unfortunately. Be good to yourself.

((((((((((((((((((((dalila)))))))))))))))))))) Please try and be kind to yourself. SI is so very hard to stop. You are trying and that is so important. Don't give up on yourself. Take care.

At least you didn't cut or use pins. Even though it is a different kind of SI, like you say ... at least it shows you can resist certain forms of SI if you need to. You'll be able to use that strength later to help you progress in stopping SI, if that's what you want.

I wish I had some advice but I'm falling into that same mindset to.
Guess all I can say is you're not alone

Hello Dalila.
I am sorry you are struggling at this time with panic. There are many things that can be done for panic with a support system. One of my things that I HAVE to do is call a friend to talk to and take my medication (or adjust medication). Seeing a therapist is also helpful, and so is journaling to get the feeling out in a positive manner. Walking is very good if you can walk in an attack since it helps the body to regain composure. Exercise is almost a necessity for panic. I walk in the morning and the evening and my panic has gone down tremendously. There is also a chat room here that is very helpful at times and a hotline number to call as well 1-800-273-TALK. I hope things get better for you soon. Take care Soidhnia
