I used to SI and I still occasionally struggle with the thoughts. My worst times are usually when the stress in my life gets unbarable. It has been four years since I SI last. I found that the longer you go without SI the easier it gets. I had to sometimes go half hour by half hour just to get through the day. I am not going to lie, It is hard work to stop. I am still to this day not sure how I stopped. Something just finally clicked in my head. Maybe to because I admitted the real reason I SI. For me I did it for the attention. Negative attention was better than no attention at all. If I was in the hospital someone was there to care for me. The attention seeking thing somehow went into a way to cope with stress. I am getting off track here, sorry. Anyways I want to give everyone here hope and support if I can. I am so proud of everyone making a step to get help!!! ((((EVERYONE))))

yes it`s really good to see people who decided to take matters in their hands and stop ocnvincing themselves they are victims.
it `s great. getting from bad to good is the process for discovering yourself, you powerful soul. this is a good example. |

Congratulations on doing so well!! I wish it was so easy for me. I'm the one who does it for the "emotional" release. I am very secretive about it. My old T used to know when I did it because he could read me so well. Besides him though, I "stuffed" my form of coping mechanism. I've been SI since I was in junior high, and geez I'm almost 40.
Congrats again!! Dee

Hi twirls01,
What a beautiful and strong post. I’ve been free from harming myself for 5 months now. But like you know the thoughts still linger. It’s stories like yours that remind me of how possible recovery really is. Thank you again for sharing and I hope your strength gets more and more solid. Hugs. ~ Bee
