Everyone reacts to emotional pain in a different manner. SI is a way to cope with immense pain but does not mean it is less nor more than someone elses. It does mean that someone is trying to cope with something very difficult. Maybe you can find someone you feel safe with to share with if you like. A therapist would be a good person to share with. A councelor. A preacher are just a few examples. I am glad you reached out here.
