Greenleaves, I've been put in jail for self-injury. It's not fun. When you make threats to hurt or kill yourself it does have a big impact on other people, and it isn't fair to expect people at online support groups to deal with that. People do care about you, and it is frustrating when you need more help than they can give you and there is nothing they can do about it.

I really do understand about how hard it is to change. I'm there too. I really feel sorry for my therapist lately because even though I want to cooperate, I'm just not getting it most of the time. We just have to keep trying and we do have to have consideration for others and not lash out against people who are trying to help. It's hard not to get defensive. But keep trying, ok?
