I’m brand new to this site. What mostly made me join is that I have been S.I myself for about five years now. I was doing good because I have a very supportive boyfriend but now he’s away at basic and I’ve S.I. quite a bit. So I guess I just needed some place to talk to people who understand where I am coming from and how difficult it is to stop.thanks for reading-Diana-
Having a boyfriend at basic must be a challenge… and I am sorry he isn’t physically there for you right now – but he hasn’t stopped loving you or supporting you.
Have you thought about writing him and telling him everything you are thinking and feeling, rather than hurting yourself? Your boyfriend will become the most popular guy at basic!! Think of all the mail he will get 🙂 You know he will read and treasure every word of what you write to him. If sending him letters everyday isn’t possible, then try keeping a journal notebook for him of letters and thoughts of him. If you find something in the newspaper or online that makes you smile and think of him, print it out and put it in the notebook/ binder. You can write him notes, draw him pictures, write about your favorite memories of him, write out your prayers (if you pray) to God you make for him everyday, take pictures of places you have gone and things you have done while he was away — give it to him at his graduation!
He is still there and still listening, just in a different way.
