It sounds like your having a really difficult time right now. I think people are doing the best they can to be here for you and give you support. I know I am.

Everyone here comes with their own trials and tribulations. Sometimes we try to be helpful, but for one reason or another (which may have NOTHING to do with you), it doesn't come out right or it isn't as helpful as we would like it to be.

I'm sorry that YOU chose self injury over using other more positive coping skills. I don't appreciate your insinuation that WE or ANY of us were the cause of your decision. Everyone here needs to take responsibility for their own actions and be accountable to themselves first and foremost. You made a poor choice of how to cope with your feelings and emotions. No one else here is responsible for that poor choice but you.

I really wish and suggest that you find a T to work with. I think you need someone closer to you to be in your camp. Someone you can go to when you need to talk and someone who can help you learn and implement those more positive coping skills that are available to you. Ultimately though as it is your choice to get help or not get help, it is also your choice to hurt yourself or not to hurt yourself.

I can support you in working towards healthier coping, and I can do my best, within the limits of my personal capabilities, to be here for you. But I can not and will not support your self injuring or self destructive behaviors.

I wish you peace......
