SI how do i explain scars, possibly triggering

[cornish]

really struggling to keep going, low doesn't come close to expressing how i feel

[Lol]

I'm sorry Cornish this is very difficult. you are in a place that you can not escape from and you can't believe how you have ended up in it as you have made progress recently. You will recover from how you feel. It wont always be like this. You will get through this. It will be different. you will get back to your point of progress and you will make further progress. Thank you for how you have been able to support others as you have been coping with your own difficulties. You are truly an inspiration.

I can really understand wanting to be rid of or punish a part of you that niggles you like that, but then of course injuring or removing the offending part is going to make it even more obvious there is a problem with it.

I dont know the answer to be truthful, a friend of mine that SI could sometimes stop herself by putting her hands in a bowl of ice cubes but not sure if that would help?

i often hurt myself by slamming my back against the corner of a brick wall, start off a bit gentle then build up a rocking motion pushing myself off, i don't hit my head as that still works, till the pain is throbbing, sick to death of this crap body, i so long to be back where i was, i also thump my legs i am quite powerful in the arm area and sometimes i think i am going to break bones doing it, these bits of me don't work anymore but i have to drag them round with me, never thought of it as self harming, but i guess i have been enlightened.

Thanks LR
