Thanks for posting this. I hate saying my age so I say i'm over 35 and I am but in truth I'm just over 40 and have been SI since I was 13. For me my age is a very sticky subject partly as my bio age doesn't match my mental age. Best way to describe me is I'm an adult but also still very much a child.
I've found its not that I'm intimated by those younger its the fact that I am older and still fighting/struggling and still SI that makes it hard for me to say stuff cuz I feel like. like something is wrong w/ me. And that what I was told growing up feels more like truth.
To me those younger who can admit their struggles and ask for help and support are brave.. braver than I was at that age, braver than I am even now. Its only within the last 6 months that I've finally admitted what I do to myself.
I've posted in other places on here as still figuring out what goes where, and have found everyone no matter their age to be so supportive. It helps to know that I'm not alone.
