I need someone to talk to. I have been “SI” free for over a year; but a lot has happened in my life in the past little bit. And I want to “SI” but I don’t wont to because I know what has happened in the past. A year is big for me the lon gest I’ve been in 6 years.
Be strong. You can do it. I’ve been SI free for 5 months, after doing it for 3 years straight. Some days are harder than others, but you will make it through. Just have faith in yourself and you can make it through. Ive had some rough times in the past few months that would have normally caused me to cut. But I decided to choose different alternatives. Ive taken words and pictures that I like out of magazines and made a big collage. Ive painted pictures to help express the feelings inside of me. You have to find an alternative that you can use to help get everything out without SI’ing. Just remember that we are here for you and that things will get better.
Thank you, And congrats on your five months, it can seem like five years. I “SI” for 5 years and everyday is a challenge,but I do appreciate the support and words of comfort. I get to a point to where I just don’t know what to do. And “SI” I know is easy, but won’t make anything better in the long run. I do write poetry. It tends to help. Thank you for the reply. And I am also here for you whenever you need someone. My email is LTcrazychic18@aol.com. My name is Lauren.
No problem. my email is murdog92@yahoo.com. My name is Brittany. Sometimes I get to the point where I feel like SI’ing is the only thing I can do to make me feel better, but I go and talk to my boyfriend or best friend, both who are very supportive and will listen to me no matter what time of day. That really helps me. Give yourself time and options and things will get much easier.
