In reply to trying to keep SI promise to myself **trigger**, posted by Lindenblüte on September 29, 2006, at 17:22:10
This is quite controversial, but I find SI rather a good way to deal with *very* painful emotions. I, personally, don't find anything wrong with it. But then again with me, it has never got out of hand and I only have short bouts of it when I'm very bad.
Of course, others may SI and decide that they want to stop and its a bad thing for them. Of course, I respect that.
But I just want to say that I don't think SI is all bad, and for me personally, it can be a helpful way to avoid a build up of emotions that could lead to something more danergous, eg a suicide attempt or running away.
