I would never SI in front or with any one. Other than at the PHP program I go to, I don's show it. No one else knows about it.
I kept getting pushed to process my cutting while I was in group. All but one time did no one offer any support, acknowledgement of doing it or understanding. Felt like a total freak. One of the last times I opened up, a young woman in the group seemed fascinated about it and asked a few questions. I was honest. But also told of the negatives. A couple months later, I was told she was cutting. Part of me knows it was her decision. Another part of me thinks that if I had kept my stupid mouth shut, there wouldn't be someone out there in pain, using the same bad coping skill that I have.
