I have been si’ng for about 20 years. I have been to hospitals numerous times and it doesn’t help. I’m wondering if I do have an addiction. If I do, it’s going to be much harder to stop. Right now I haven’t hurt myself in a little less than a month. That’s incredible for me. Anyone have any input on this?
SI is a major addiction. Try to find other ways to cope with your pain. Anything at all to put the object down. What has helped me is when it gets really hard, and you want to SI envision yourself putting the object down. It gives you a little more confidence. Write in a journal, exercise, listen to music, sing..anything as an alternative to SIing. It’s not easy to break this addiction, but I know you can do it. 🙂

I have tried everything to keep myself from SI’ng. You know, like snapping a rubber band or holding ice or any other of a hundred things to do, but I don’t think something as simple as envisioning myself putting the object down has crossed my mind. I’ll try that. Thanks for the advice.
