Hey there,
Going this long without cutting or burning is brilliant - you should be really pleased with yourself! *cuddles* Some people have been known to burn themselves with ice or something else, which is why the ice cube method of alternative can be difficult for some. The fact you've managed to go so long without cutting is excellent - so can you think of the kinds of distractions that work for you already and maybe use them when you want to use these other forms of SI? What's made you feel low like this, do you think?
Sometimes our friends and loved ones can upset us simply by loving us - meaning they care so much they feel almost as bad as we do when we're driven to using SI to help. They can feel as though they've let us down, it's their fault in some way, etc. So maybe you could have a chat with your friend or write them a letter to explain how you're feeling and that it's not their fault? I hope you are feeling better soon, love. Take care,
xx
