hello. i’ve been here before but haven’t been in a pretty long time. i’m scared…to put it bluntly. i’m scared because i am on other blogs and know people that are in recovery and no longer si. i don’t really do it alot, but i don’t want to stop, and that’s what scares me. i’m afraid i won’t be able to…and it’s getting worse. any advice appreciated.
thanks for reading.
Laurie
the way i helped myself to stop is by just realizing what i need in my life & how it affected the people around me. the only person that can stop you is yourself,others can just talk you through it.
Hey Laurie,
I’m Melody. My advice to you is to talk to the people you know who no longer S.I and get a support group together so that you can get better. Your best days are ahead of you without S.I, and it seems scary because it has been apart of you for so long that now you don’t know what to do without it in your life, but the people that will be there to support you will help you find a life without S.I. It may be scary but when you realize you don’t need S.I anymore trust me life is so much better. If you ever need to talk further my email is dashdollie10@yahoo.com
I wish you the best of luck.

Hi Laurie, Im Lauren and Ive been “SI” free for a little over a year and it was the biggest battle of my life. But I was the one who had to decide I wanted to stop. I “SI” for five years and I saw what it was doing to the people who I loved and who loved me. It hurt me to see the destruction I was causing. I didn’t like the stress I was causing, I am only 18 and have spent a total of 2 years in mental hospitals and it took me saying I don’t want this anymore. I will say that in the long run the short rush is never worth it. Talk to someone close, one are not alone in this fight. There is always hope. My email is LTcrazychic18@aol.com feel free to email me if you need to talk. And the number one thing I can say is never be scared to ask for help.
thank you guys. i’ve been going out of my mind lately. i’ve recently switched to a different form of SI…so i know i’m accelerating. my family has no clue. they just sort of brushed off the fact that i had a mental breakdown and had to go inpatient last year. don’t get me wrong, my mom is a great mom, but i think she’s happier that she doesn’t have to talk about it.idk
i’ve been thinking about SI alot lately. i walk in a room and look for things i could si with. i know how bad that sounds.
thanks for offering to talk with me.
