the urges are triggering some pretty unproductive thoughts... so is there really that much of a difference if i think it... or do it.

I often struggle with that one myself but there really is a big difference. sometimes actually hurting yourself starts the viscous cycle. And if you can try and be kind to yourself as you really do deserve it. Sometimes it can be so hard to see. I hope you are able to resist.

I'm going to agree with BB here. I'm sorry about the thoughts... they're the hardest to get through sometimes.

There IS a difference because afterwards, you're only going to beat yourself up more knowing that you did SI.

Try and find something to do that will distract yourself from these triggering thoughts ... watch a movie, or call someone .. anything to get your mind off SI.

Please try and stay safe...

That can get me down sometimes too. But i think there is a difference - it is our choices (when we are capable of making them) that distinguish who and what we are.
How are you doing out there?
