> who gives me coping skills to use in place of cutting.
>I didn't say this clearly in my post - I'm definitely all for coping skills. I just found that when I learned them with the intent of *replacing* SI, some part of me rebelled. When I learn/ed and practice/d them with the intent of adding to my range of options, the SI and self-medicating subsided, seemingly with no direct effort.
No thread-hijacking intended. I'm feeling pretty raw and sensitive about having posted what could seem like "pro"-SI view.
