SI makes people nervous. The ones that don't do it. Its completely foreign to anything they have ever felt. It sounds psychotic to them. Mental disorders and emotional disorders, common as they are, still cause a great deal of fear in people who don't have them.

I will tell you this though, (and yes, i cut for years and years), its not a coping mechanism that will last. The addictive part will, but the relief won't. Sometimes you can get out of it yourself. Other people need some help. Give it some thought though. As I sadly found out, what you do today will come back to haunt you years down the road.
