getting out of the cycle is the hardest part... take it day by day ... look at your successes... not at your slips... you can do this... have you tried looking at the cycle and journaling your triggers?... there are a lot of good ideas to get grounded in this forum... take gentle care...lyn

(((((((((xcchicka))))))))))
Lyn gave some really good advice... The cycle is hard to get out of, but it is possible. Even if it's only for a day, or an hour... it's trying to implement good coping strategies instead of resorting to cutting (or other forms of SI). It's hard work, and sometimes it doesn't help to use the new strategies... but you can do it. Take it one day, one hour, one minute at a time. Don't be hard on yourself either, it is not a failure or a mistake... it is a temporary setback. If you ever want to talk, feel free to send me a PM.

Of course it's frustrating, but if you really want to break out of this, it takes time but its not impossible...
Just take it one day at a time, try and beat your record of how long you can last, and if you do relapse, dont be too hard on yourself - just use it as another oppertunity to try again take care hun, babyg xXx

I know exactly what you are saying. I have just come into the 'not-doing-it-at-all' phase after a couple of weeks of the most and worst SI for a long time. I got so desperate this time that I spoke to my t (we have never discussed my SI before) and I have just started CBT.I am hoping that with a lot of effort I can change my behaviours, but SI has always been an addiction I can't seem to live without, so it is going to be SOOO hard but ultimately worthwhile.
Do you have any motivations for NOT SIing? (mine include not wanting my kids growing up with me doing it; the scars...) I wish you all the best.
