I'm sorry you feel this way Misshatchet. One day at a time. 5 days is good. One slip up is ok. Take it easy on yourself. Try to stay safe. Keep talking with us here, we are a good distraction.

Try not to focus on how long between times that you SI - just focus on the times that you dont. Find something during every one of those days to enjoy...

And use those things when you find yourself fighting the urge...because on those days you didnt do it - and what ever keeps you safe on those days needs to be carried over to the hard days...

You can do this - it just takes a little bit of time...

Hang in there

Time to put my life back together right now" Eminem Not Afraid
