B2cThanks for the info. I gave her a bunch of sites to look at and that was one of them. I have no idea whether she has looked at any one of them, she hasn't said anything to me. She seems to avoid answering that question. Not sure why. I know she is extremely concerned for her daughter and she's trying not to smother her but to tell her how much she loves her and that she is there if she ever needs to talk. Her therapist is aware of it now so he is working on it with her.
Do you go to therapy for yours? I have read a little on some of these sites, including the one you gave me so I'm a little knowledgeable. Is it so strong of an urge that you can't use a more positive why to deal with your pain? Aren't you afraid that you're really going to hurt yourself, especially when you cut your wrists, couldn't that be dangerous? I don't mean to pry, I'm just trying to understand why a person would continue doing it or in your case you don't recall doing it for several years and now you're doing worse than you ever did. I don't understand that. Why would you not find a more positive way of dealing with your pain? I am by no means judging you, I'm just trying to understand you. Would you do it immediately after something happened that upset you or could it be hours or days later? I guess I don't understand why a person would continue to SI when they know there is more positive methods of dealing with things.
