Of course you want to. Somtimes I still want to even 8 years free. For me, I learned si was a tool I used to comfort myself, it was a distraction, a way to change something to do when i felt overwhelmed. I felt overwhelmed all the time. Before I could put down this tool, I had to pick up other ones that worked better. The first tool that helped was sharing how I felt, trying to be honest about it which was really difficult because I was so good at running away. Today I understand my comfort comes to me from Love others have for me and spiritually. It takes time to change. Be patient with yourself. Try to limit ur cutting or other si but dont be hypercritical of yourself if you do cut. it is only a matter of time before you will be free from it. Take it easy. Try to be gentle with yourself. Share Share Share Share. Joy shared is multiplied, grief shared is diminished. Keep breathing.

    While at the store last week with my mom and sister, we alwere standing in the checkout line and a couple of ladies stood so close behind us that if I moved an inch I would bump them. There were blue circles on the floor to stand on to maintain six feet of distance. They were making me so nervous. Even before covid started I get nervous when people stand too close. I didn't say anything to them...
