Idk what to do I feel like my emotions have gotten the best of me & I can't control them anymore...

I know what you mean about feeling both like you need to and want too, and then sometimes just feeling like you need to but don't want to. Try telling yourself that you don't deserve anymore pain and you deserve to love yourself, not hurt yourself. I hope you are doing okay right now.

I've been looking at some of my old posts lately & I'm happy to say I have been SI free for 5 & a half months now :-)
Not completely sure what I'm doing to keep my mind off of it, but I have started getting back into crocheting again & I've also picked up a new hobby! I'm making chainmaile jewelry & my mom is making me a website so I can sell what I have made! I still struggle with my SI on a daily but keeping myself busy with all my arts/hobbies seems to be keeping it more towards the back of my mind :-)
