Hi jyl,
Have you been to the Secret Shame website? They have a list of alternatives to si. Anything that relieves the pressure helps me some.
I am hesitant to post the things that help me for fear they might prove a trigger to you. I know it's different for everyone.
Do you have someone you can call IRL?
If not, would it help to post out some of the pain?

im familiar with that feeling. I just wish you were able to talk to someone about it without it getting worse. Im aware of that cycle too cuz i get that way. im scared to talkeabout anything fear i get worse.
anyhoo its good to see you posting here. im sorry you have that monkey on your back. maybe throw him a banana away from you and hell chase it? I wish i had a better answer than that...
