Hi All,
As one of the moderators of the blog, I’ve seen many recent posts from people talking about wanting to SI, etc. It’s always good to vent, and I wanted to encourage people to try and share what feelings they are having. Wanting to SI doesn’t just come out of nowhere, it usually starts with a feeling such as sad, angry, lonely, hurt, rejected, scared, etc… While it’s good to express that you want to SI, I think people will find that it helps so much more if people could also try to add what feelings they are having.
Look for what is triggering your impulse to injure. If you don’t know what I”m talking about, look at the book “Bodily Harm” as it’ll explain more about it. We just want people to get as much support as they can from this blog. Your feelings are important!
Thanks! Pam
Hi Pam, it’s Angel. I enjoyed reading what you had to say because sometimes I sit and try to figure out why I want to SI, but can’t seem to put my finger on the exact reason. I have just begun to read some of the blogs, awesome! I’m not in a world of my own and there are others who can relate. SI is really bad these days. I just went to Idaho, Oregon, Calif, and back to Col. I stayed with my mom for a week. That was the worst thing I have ever done in my life. She told me things my father had done to me that I didn’t even remember. It all hurts so bad. It’s so hard to accept that those thing (really) happened to me. Thanks for Caring, Angel
