Dearest Bear,

You are not a %#@&#!. You are one of the kindest, gentlest people I have ever met. You might not say a lot about yourself, and that's ok as long as you are getting the support that you need by coming here. We would all be sad if you stayed away, so I am very glad that you decided not to. I'm not buying that it's your fault either. I might start my own thread and explain why my cutting is all my own fault though. What do you think of that? Will you let me get away with saying that unchallenged? I can certainly understand feeling that way, and yes, you are the one who has the power to stop if you choose to (and we love you either way, whether you choose to stop or not), but taking on all the blame yourself just hurts you more and isn't true. You haven't told us much of your background, but we know if you hurt yourself that there are some difficult things that have happened to you. You have been traumitized in some way, and you coped with it as well as you could. But now you can take charge of your life and not let anyone hurt our favorite blonde bear anymore. And it's ok to need help and support. Please stay here as much as you want to, for any reason at all. I wish that you could also find the kind of 3D support that would be helpful for you. You deserve that too.

Love,
Rapunzel
