Please pay special attention to the trigger icon on any of the posts...it is there for a reason...

I understand the pain you are going through ... and feeling ashamed is a hard thing to shake... but just know that on here, no one is judging you. We are all here for you, and want to listen and help in any way that we can.

keep posting and stay safe

The shame is so hard to accept, isn't it? We all are here seeking to understand ourselves through others. Keep coming -- we won't judge you.

Take gentle care.

I don't think people should be ashamed of SI. It is a coping mechanism.
I rarely SI now, which is truly amazing.
This is how it was for ME, this may NOT necc applly to other people.
Fortunately I had a good t that came to understand that I needed SI to keep me safe until I learned other, better coping mechanisms.
She made me not ashamed.
Before I gave myself permission ot utilize SI as a TOOL, I would do other things to help myself, eg, drinking(NOT good, I am alcoholic), drugs, dangerous driving, walking in dangerous places, putting myself in diif dangerous situations, S ideation and beyond....etc
Anything to RUN, anything to make it stop.
Given the alternatives, SI was a better choice. And I worked hard at alternatives, and now I rarely SI.
So to me SI has no shame in that it was a tool, a tool that kept me home and 'safe'.
Goto admit, the scars suck. Seriously suck, cuz its not like I can announce to the world that I SI, but in my heart, I KNOW, I did what I had to do.
Took time, but I do good now.
So don't be ashamed, and know, even a bad SI person like me can stop.
