I admire the fact that you would support a cause so dear to me heart. I've been in therapy since I was 17 and I'm 49 now. No harm to myself, drug abuse (although people who don't understand classify you as being one, even if you take a Valium).
I feel sorry for your desire to harm yourself and I don't want to preach to you, but is your reason for doing it really WORTH it. Just remember what I learned in therapy. That what you do to yourself gives it power over you. I'm sure you are worth more than that power.
Good luck to your friends site, I'll check it out and pass it on. I know alto of people who could probably benefit from it. I will try to understand why and maybe I will look you up in the near future and give you a better response.

Oh - P.S., I was a self harmer, taking alot of pills to go to sleep peacefully, I've cut the wrist a few time and a few more I care not to mention-so I don't want you to think that I haven't been there before. I guess it's after being in therapy SO long, it's a thing of the past. But sometimes I think of reliving it because right now I am so unhappy. Let's put it as loud(anger-add 1 letter "d" and its danger) so I could go there but I'm trying self restraint. Anyway, I didn't want you to think I didn't understand where you were coming from. Bye
they shouldnt be understood.most are attention seekers...'crying for help', and various other purposes, whatever.it shouldnt be encouraged by creating sites for them to indulge in. if people are going to self harm they should do it and get on with things, not have a cry and dwell on it all the time.
as a self harmer i think it's good that people are trying to understand more, and i would answer the questions, but i don't want to give my email i'm afraid. sorry.
