I was talking to my friend, the only person I have ever told that I SI. She wanted to know why I do it. My only answer was that it makes me feel. She says she wants to help but she just can’t understand why I feel this way. I try to explain but she just doesn’t get it.
I don’t think that anyone who hasn’t SI could truly understand why we do it, or how it makes us feel. But if your friend cares to try she could start by reading the book “Crosses”, it helps a lot of people get a glimpse of our life.
My boyfriend of three years still doesnt get it and he has tried to help me stop and i did for the longest time but it is really had to explain to someone who has never need to si before.. if you need to talk or anything email me at jjmsgirl@gmail.com
