Hi Elle,
I'm sorry that your mom isn't getting the whole OCD thing. It's so hard when people who you care about deny something so big in your life. Ideally she would be a whole heck of a lot more supportive. I hope it helps a little if you can get support elsewhere, like here, and your T.
I'm also sorry that you ended up SI-ing to cope, and then felt bad about yourself. It's a cycle that I know very well. I'm glad you have *some* way to cope, and I hope you are able to find other ways that don't feel so bad. If you post here when you need help with that, I promise I'll try to respond, if that's any help. Maybe answering Daisy's questions will help. That sounded like a good idea.

Also, Daisy, I like your safe place assignment. When I did that, I always thought of an attic room filled with books and a comfy chair, and a window with sun coming in, with people I care about in the room below talking so I could hear them. Don't know why I didn't want them there, but I did want them near. I never thought about putting my T there, but I think I will from now on.
