Good job, I'm proud of you. Glad you found something to do that worked so well for you. I do a lot of writing when I'm really urgy.

well done! :D
I'm really glad you made it & glad you've found something that works.
...then one day I realised that the people you see in waiting rooms and car parks and on trains are really far more interesting. That they all have whole novels inside them, a fabric of scar tissues, photos and memories. They are comedies and tragedies and - more often - both at the same time.

Congrats, that's wonderful! Good job :D
I also used painting and other forms of art to cope instead of SI, and it really helped. It's a great way to express emotion, and if it isn't going to trigger you worse, you can even use red paint.
