Yay for relapses, after more than a year without incidence, my SI is so bad right now I've been cutting 3-4 times a week! Thankfully I'm good at hiding it, but this needs to stop, the feelings need to go away! I feel so helpless it just takes over.
It is so hard to have a relapse after going for so long without. Is there somewhere you can go to be safe, like on a walk or to a friends house, so that you aren't alone and help fight the feelings? Find a dozen and nine things to do with your hands, crafts, knitting, drawing, writing, push ups, hand stands, jumping jacks, pencil sharpening? Maybe try cooking, the first months I stopped I made dozens of cookies, pies and breads just to keep busy.
Thnk positive thoughts, believe that you can stop the feelings, do something, anything else that is safe and healthy.
I am here if you need to rant, rave, cry or scream
