You are getting responses from members who have or are suffering with SI. They have had much experience with different kinds of SI and they know how it can manifest into something more serious. SI does not necessarily mean you are suicidal. There are many different reasons for SI'ing and everyone has their own. Sometimes it's a matter of discussing the situation with a professional to get to the root of why you are doing this.
Know that you can take whatever is written to you as you see fit. On a public forum we may not get the responses that we are really wanting, but that doesn't mean that they are anything but trying to be supportive and helpful. Support comes in many different ways.
I wish you well Morghana. I hope you can find something within this thread that helps you. Please take good care of yourself.
With Care,
sabby

I know why it was moved, but I just think that putting this in the SI forum implies that the issue is more serious than it is. Anyway, of all the posts I've looked through in this section, none of them are very similar to what I'm going through, and thus, a lot of the advice I'm getting doesn't feel all that geared toward my situation.
In general, though, I wish I had been consulted before the thread was moved, because its being here implies that I chose to label this "self-injury", which I didn't and which I still do not.
