First i just really want to commend you for recognizing that you need a little bit of help with what you are struggling with. Going to seek professional help is a big step, but i know that you will be OK. I am seeing a counsellor at my University rigth now, and i've talked with her about SI before too ... as mentioned above, they won't "send you away" or anything unless you are in serious danger to yourself - i.e., suicidal. In most cases, they will just talk with you to try and figure out why you SI and things that you can do to try and replace that action with something else. Unfortunately SI is no and uncommon thing, and i'm sure that whoever you go to see will have some sort of experience in that area.

Try not to get too anxious about this appointment, it is a good thing, and i'm sure that it will go fine.

Hand in there,
