Hello Useless Me-No, I didn't think that you were implying that my post was stupid. I was just worried that it was-I worry about that kind of thing, one of my issues. I did want to explain that when I made my responses about your post I wasn't just being nice, I was speaking the truth.

Hello laikashuman-Thank you for your comments about anger and SI. I have rarely even raised my voice with other people-anger makes me that anxious. It seems to never fail that when I feel hurt or anger toward someone I end up taking it out on myself. You sound insightful about what happens for you and I thank you for sharing your experiences with SI. I truly appreciate it. A few years without SI is awesome. I wish you all the best.

Hello Angel Of Bedlam-thank you for your comment, it really means a lot to me. A month without SI is a long time-I'm so glad that you are doing much better. And, thank you for asking about me. That was very thoughtful. I have been having a particularly hard time-it was one of the reasons why I found my way to this site about a week ago. I am trying very hard to work through all of my stuff but doing it alone is a challenge. I just wish I knew about this site earlier but I'm grateful I found it.

Hello too Shy-thank you for opening up about this horrible abuse you endured. I can completely understand how that message from your mother was conveyed-that the person who was abusing you was more important. What a horrific and traumatic thing you have had to struggle with. Not only being abused but the person who was supposed to protect you seemed more concerned with what might happen to the abuser. I am so sorry that this happened to you and it makes perfect sense that you would feel like you are dying inside. I hope that you will return and let us now how you are doing, if you want to.

If anyone wants to talk you can always message me. I hope everyone is okay.
