I also had a problem with this several years ago, but luckily it was fairly short lived (around 6 months or so). Going to counseling was helpful for me, and I think that you should do the same thing. While the fact that you've developed a fairly long term pattern of SI, the fact that your incidents are infrequent is likely to make putting a stop to this dangerous pattern somewhat easier. Also, have you ever told anyone about this problem? If not, you should tell someone you trust about it.
Thank you for this detailed comment, it's a relief to talk to someone else who went through the same thing and is doing better now.
A few months ago I told a girl I was dating about it, and she got very panicky so I haven't told anyone since.
I also told my therapist (who I see once a month) that I have problems with self-injury, and I told my psychiatrist (a few years ago, when I had a psychiatrist) that I have issues with intrusive thoughts. I'm not sure I ever talked in detail about the two issues together, though. I should probably do that.
IIN to think about self-injury all the time?
