Feel free to bash me for my opinion as is the way of the Internet. Thank you.

People do have to take responsibility for themselves, I do agree with what everyone else is saying about this, especially if they are in an unsafe mindset and are easily triggered as it is, you have to take the responsibility of not going in certain boards if they trigger you/will trigger you and make you want to act on urges.
We aren't ignoring you, but we are pointing out you need to be responsible for yourself and recognize if you are feeling like you want to self harm, and if seeing certain things will make you feel it's okay to self harm because other people are or in general just trigger you more, then you need to avoid going near the self harm board and perhaps just take a break away from this site and the computer in general if you are going to be triggered by being on this site and seeing these things and come back when you are in a better mindset and able to deal with seeing triggering things.
We all have to take responsibility for ourselves, more so when we are in an unsafe, unstable place, and yes, it can be difficult to do this, but this site is full of triggering materials and words and such, that can't be helped, but what you can do is help yourself when you're thinking being on here could make things worse.
