I'm really excited today.
As of today at 8:00AM, I have been one week SI free!!!
It has been tough going this week. I had to make a few crisis calls, and I've had a lot of tears and episodes curled up on the floor, but I have made it through one week, and that's all that matters right now. A few weeks ago, I was ready to die, and now I have gone the whole week without hurting myself at all!!! This proves that I CAN do this, I CAN master this disorder, I CAN stop mutilating myself and harming myself!

Congrats, MB! Do you think that posting here about it has helped you to stop doing it? Given you alternative coping techniques??

That is absolutely awesome!! It is a struggle, I know! I've taped a note on my razors this week that says "Now, is this REALLY a more productive choice?"...we'll see how I react next time I reach for them. Thankfully I haven't had any urges to lately because I've been so consumed with healing from a recent operation. So perhaps distraction is a good tool!

Good job!! It can be so hard to find a new way, learn new skills- but you are doing it, and making progress!
