I have self harmed for years, so I get it ..

There is still stigma for having a mental illness .. yet some with mental illness pass the stigma they dont want towards them onto someone elses struggles.

If someone has never self harmed they are never going to understand why anyone would.. I just wish people would not talk that way around others and certainly not a support group when there is a variety of people there.

I cant seem to type out how this makes me feel or what I really want to say But just know that I understand 100% and agree with your frustration. Im glad you were able to use coping skills to slow things down for you to handle this ignorance.
