This is Candy,
I have been trying to find a good workbook on SI,and I know of two,but I am not sure which one is the best and I was wondering if anyone heard of these books,one is called "Understanding SI a workbook for Adults and the other is called " Healing the Hurt within: Understanding SI and SH and heal the Emotional Wounds". I hope this does not bother anyone,they look like good books,but I do not know which one is more helpful;plus I have Borderline Personality Disorder. I have been using my coping skills and so far it has been two days without SI.it is not easy,but I am taking it slowly. If anyone has heard of these books,please let me know what you think of them,your opinion will be helpful.If anyone wants to Pm me,you are welcome, I care for all you on the Bus. I am still struggling with this,and it can be hard sometimes. I starting writing in my journal again,which I am proud of myself. Trying to stop SI,is not easy and it has been rough for me these past couple of days. Just hanging in there one minute at a time.
Take care
I am in a dark place like a turtle afraid to deal with the pain that I do not want to feel,but eventually I will slowly face my pain,like the turtle when he comes out of his shell.
To find yourself,think of yourself first.

Hey..
I've heard Healing the Hurt Within is good. But I don't know much about it. Maybe you should look them up on
http://www.amazon.com and look at the reviews.
There's some specific books on dealing with BPD as well. I think Linehan's DBT book is the one most people use.
I know how hard it is trying to get by with SI'ing and I think 2 days is a really great start. Good on you for using your journal as well.
Well done for trying to help yourself. It's not always an easy thing to do.
