Hi @Former-Member, thanks. I really should keep in mind that even though we're the ones doing the talking, there are probably a lot of people reading, and thinking 'is this place ok to join?'. I began self-harming because I had a bad relationship with my ex-psych - I had to make a formal complaint because I felt he was a danger to people who don't share his religious beliefs. If I ever disagreed with him, he would tell me it was a symptom or something - tell me that intelligent people loved religion (with the tone implying 'so why aren't you getting on board?'). It was really frustrating, especially as he was supposed to be someone who I could talk to about stuff. His bosses had no idea about the stuff he was peddling.

If I was currently self-harming, and I went to a psychologist and told them that I self-harmed, what would happen? What should happen? As it is, I still don't know what would get me thru the door... Barring rockets tied to my shoes. 🙂
