Like the title says, I am now celebrating five months of not self injuring. I'm not going to lie... this has been a VERY difficult five months, especially when I get to the lowpointing phase, start flashbacking, or other factors that I don't really need to mention but will simply imply.
I have been self injuring since the age twelve as a means to soothe pain through pain, as a means of self-punishment, or sometimes both. I have tried a great deal of the suggestions out there to aid in stopping my SI, but none seemed to "be enough" for me. So, I decided to try the "cold turkey" method again and do my best to cease hurting myself despite trying and failing many times in the past. To celebrate five months is a huge accomplishment for me and I am determined to do my best to continue onward. I'm not sure what is keeping me going... perhaps it is knowing I am not alone, being able to discuss this with people who understand, and/or the sheer will to be able to learn a healthier way to cope. Whatever the reason, I want to be able to kiss that SI demon goodbye once and for all. Thank you to everyone who has shared their own experiences for it has been a source of strength for me. I know we all are in this battle together and it is so important to know we do not stand alone. |
