It has been an incredibly long journey, but I feel like I have reached a major milestone in my life! I want to encourage others who may be struggling. It is possible to reach a point in your life when you can express your feeling verbally instead of allowing your body to say them for you! I have a blog and would love visitors and comments! http://comes_the_light.livejournal.com<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('534','Vanessa Vega'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('534','Vanessa Vega','I too have struggled with self-injury for more than 30 years, but have just celebrated my first year of being SI free!!

I really admire you for laying yourself out. Congrads on your 7 months. I confess that I know almost nothing about this but have had a strange fear/impulse sometimes that I might cut myself(?) I don't understand it but having lived with chronic depression, I've grown accustomed to having suicidal impulses so I've chalked up the (very slight) cutting thing to a lesser (for me) symptom of the same thing. A response to stress.<br/><br/>I just celebrated my 20th anniversary in AA. I'm very grateful for the support that I've had from friends and family. <br/><br/>I wish you the best on your journey,<br/><br/>Thank you for sharing.<br/>Peg<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('467','Peg'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('467','Peg','Thanks for blogging this.

Uh, let me step two paces away and look over here.") - while I have found it is couragous and difficult, sometimes extremely minute by minute difficult choice to not resort to one of the habitual ways of emotional release.
