longest ever for me! 15 weeks today!!! **SI**

Post by naomi om » Tue Apr 27, 2004 1:59 am

Hey guys,

just have to share with someone who understands how hard it is not to SI.

I might be psychotic now but still I have not cut in 15 weeks as of today. My longest run before this was 13 weeks few years ago. So this is like the longest i've gone all my life? almost, over twenty years now.

i'm scared i'm gonna relapse though. the cravings and images are strong. i'm just afraid if i get my hands on a razor it's game over. as in, i might be heading for an artery. but i'm determined not to. trying not to.

thanks for listening,

naomi

15 weeks

Wow, well done! I know it's hard but you've got to keep trying, and also talk to someone (if you're not already) about the feelings you're having. All of this put together should lead to success!
I'm here anytime, luv Kel x

WOW!!!

that takes some doing. Well done you. Keep holding on there. Is there someplace you can go or someone you can be with to help keep yourself safe.

take care, and thanks for the inspiration.

That's great! :grnteeth: 15 weeks x 7 days means 105 days, so I think you deserve one of these:

I admire your determination to resist the urges. Hopefully some of the stuff posted around here will help you with that.

Good luck, and well done :gooddeal:

15 weeks is great! Hang in there.
If I am silent then I am not real. If I speak up then no one will hear. If I wear a mask there's somewhere to hide. If I raise my voice will someone get hurt and if I can't feel then I won't get touched. If no truths are spoken then no lies can hide. -Garbage "Silence is Golden"
