I would agree because sometimes venting is good. It gets out in constructive ways instead of cutting but that is what the other threads here in this message board already addresses.

There is nothing stopping anyone from venting, just not on this specific thread.

The idea of this thread is so people come in spcifically for checking in their levels and locating and using positive coping tools.

Right now this thread stands out in the fact that it only addresses levels and positive coping tools.

We add venting and it will be just like the other threads where people have a mixture and then alot of times the thread dies (gets burried) because alot of people dont want to read through alot of triggering stuff just to get to the coping tools listed in a persons posting. Take for instance my postings about DID. Some people want to know the coping tools and still others don't want me going into details about the disorder and my therapy program. So now I post my information to my blog and direct people there. They can choose for themselves to read it or not and its not in the face of others who don't want to see it.

You are welcome to post in your thread checking in your levels and positive coping tools that you use venting and directing people to your venting thread/post somewhere else in the self injury message boards.

I specifically started this thread to deal with the positive (keeping track of our levels and actions) on how to stop cutting NOT the negative aspects that get addressed in the triggering/ venting and so on behind the cutting.

Im sorry that you don't like rules but to keep this thread for what it was meant to be for I need to put this boundry on.

Im sorry if that upsets you but my first couple posts here explained what this thread was for and I stand by that.
