Triggering (SI) - Why is it so hard to find support groups???
I am so freakin frustrated...I am looking for support groups for self-injury and can't seem to find any...I have e-mailed as many people that I can find and it seems like I never get a reply...gggrrr...

Thank-you very much. If I cannot find anything then I will probably look for something similar online. Mind you, RYL has helped me loads but it's nice sometimes to chat with someone face to face =). Thank you a bunch for your support...my quest shall continue...lol

i trieed to find a support group too but had no luck, i phoned the local mental health assosciation and they didnt have one or know of one but suggested i get referred to the community mental health team who might have one......i think my care worker tried to sort out this referral before she left.
so maybe speak to your dr see if they know of anything or can refer you somewhere??
good luck xxx

Me and some friends pressured for a support group from a local youth group, and seemed to be making progress, as other young people agreed with us, but then the youth group changed premises and everything is chaos, so god knows what's happened. All I know is that they are extremely few, and far between.
Thank-you guys =). I am scared to talk to my doctor or anyone like that because my cutting is so bad, and I have already gone to deep once...I am scared that they will lock me up so to speak...

You shouldn't worry too much I think, I went too deep and got caught for the first time. I had an overnight hospital stay but apart from that it wasn't too bad, however I know in the UK they do the best to keep most people in thier communities (Or chunks of countryside for me), not so sure with Canada.
The hospital tried to keep me overnight as well, when I got caught trying to jump off of the bridge. I said no though because I am terrified of hispitals when I am alone, and they didn't pressure me so...I really wanna go to the hospital for help, but it always seems like they never take me seriously enough.

Hunnie, its hard really i though of maybe seeing if i could set one up iv heard of one in my area and emailed them but never got anything back from them so nothing happened. Good luck we all hear if you want to talk.
Don't walk behine me I might got you lost!
Don't walk in front of me I may not follow you!
Don't walk beside me the path is to small!
All we can do is walk our own paths,remember your not alone because we are all walking our own paths together!
