Wow, glad to see you're feeling so ambitious! Good luck! You can do it! And remember that even if you don't get to do all of it this time, progress is still a good thing!
You always talk about wanting to hurt yourself, but never about wanting to hurt your brother. Are you blaming yourself for what happened?
How about this for an idea, though I'm sure your shrink, parents, etc, will say that it's a bad idea, then again they didn't go through what you did and they're not going through what you are going through. Go to a shooting range in PA or in Manhattan, imagine that the target is your brother and empty a couple of clips into his face. Or, get a free standing heavy bag, you can get online, or a makiwara board, also online or pick it up from Kinjisan on Nostrand and I think L, paste his picture on the bag/board and just go at it whenever you feel like hurting yourself. And for added bonus, make sure your family knows what you're doing. Wouldn't it feel great if at the next family get together your brother would fear you.
