My Story:

I'm a 31 year old woman who started SI when I was 17. I was in and out of in-patient treatment from the time I was 17 until I was 23. I managed to quit SI for about 5 years, and started up again in August. Its gotten very bad. I struggle every minute of every day to not harm myself. Its like trying to keep my head above water with a 1,000 lb weight tied to my ankles.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Of course, so does falling down a flight of stairs.
