I think that talking about our self injury is an important part of stopping the habit, just like alcoholics go to AA meetings. Unfortunately there isn't anyone we can really talk about it too. The misunderstanding and fear are so strong that to tell someone is to risk our own emotional well being which of course drives us to continue the habit. It is frustrating. Then when you do start talking about it to someone there is the chance that they will say you are using your self injury to manipulate them. Grrrr. I am glad that there are people writing books to help educate the world about this problem. I think with time more people will understand it better and we will be able to be more open about our problem and have a better chance of breaking free. Until then you have us.
You are in my thoughts,
