There is the
Warning Label thread hanging around somewhere in SID. I think if people are wondering whether too or not and have been for a while it could put them off the idea, like I am a very 'different' case to most having urges to cut for over 7yrs before I actually did it but people who kind of have the idea or have got the positives from it from their mates and their worried about it then it may help. Even people in the early stages but then it's only help; it won't be a solution. People are going to SH at times if the urge is big enough whatever we do and at the end of the end of the day it's their decision but things like making people aware it can spiral out of control and become addictive and the negative sides of things may just stall people a bit more make them think a bit harder; same as members who've only just done it a couple of times as often those things get overlooked.
But it's definately not something anyone can come down hard on people for. At the end of the day, if they're going to SH you can talk them out of it and it may work but people have to accept it also may not and it's not your responsibility if someone does it as well as itstead of telling people to stop altogether it is often more successful saying to them to get help to tackle the reasons behind it and then stopping can be easier or even a natural progression. The same with EDs, you've got to get the people to realise the problems they'e doing to themselves (and potentially others around) and then slowly helping them to get better. It won't change overnight.
But I think threads such as What meds are you on? and What have you been diagnosed are, in most cases, not of help to anyone and can appear competitive. People should really be looking at the reasons behind the behaviours that they do, if possible, that's lead to these diagnoses and try to get focussed help on them rather than just saying I've got x, y and z and put up with that and just make a point of getting it into your heads that that's what you've got and there's no way around it as often that just causes worsening, as well as other people who may have the same mental problems or the same emotions maybe feeling as if they need help less because they haven't got an official diagnosis when really that could be because of numerous reasons.
