My counselor has this idea that i should join this 12-step group... it's like Alcoholics Anonymous, except for SI. She thinks it would be a good idea.

However, i am scared to death. The idea of going into a room of strangers who automatically know that i am a cutter just by the fact that i am there really freaks me out. i want more than anything to hide my scars.... and the knowledge that i cut. This feels really vulnerable and really really weird.

But am i overreacting? Is it any different than RYL? i mean, i guess the internet does have some built in true anonymity... i don't know. i don't know if i should suck it up and ignore my freakishness, or if the whole thing really is as crazy as i think it is. Thoughts?
