Triggering (SI) - Want to get help, but I've been burned in the past
I have been cutting for 8-9 years now, and have been in and out of psychiatrist's, psycologists and therapists offices. I only had one that ever helped. She was my psychologist in High School, but when I graduated i was on my own. Since then I have had some REALLy bad exsperiances, from being baceracted because I drew with red pen on my wrist, to being called a freak, to one acctually telling me I cut, because I was not a real person, because I didnt believe in God.... I am trying really hard to stop, making a genuine effort to it, (went two whole months!!! YAY) and it would be nice to have some porfessional support. But I am scared, what If I get another idiot? What happens if this one locks me up and I loose my job? I just cant handle that...so Any advice on what I should do? Anyone been in this position before?

You cam't tell what will happen until you do it and it can really help so it is worthwhile and they won't 'lock you up' unless they deam you to be a serious risk to yourself or others. It can usually help and if you look online/ talk to others and see if you can find one that is good. You can also talk to your doctor about it, they may have some contacts for some good ones in the area; talking to your doctor on it's own may help. You have had a good one and so that shows that there ARE good ones out there; if you don't like one you can swap to another until you find one you find comfortable with.
Seems people will always find a way to bring religion in. More than just bothersome, I know. As far as lock up and all that goes, you should be fine so long as your cuts are not life threatening. Most will look down upon it anyway, but since it is just SI, and not involving others, you are less likely to be thrown into the system. It might be suggested to you, as it once was for me, but generally you can just decline, and work on another method of treatment and recovery.
I was SI during my time in the military, so I hope that I know enough of it by now to be of some help.
Take care the best you can, and take a good little search, and I am sure that things will work out better in the end.

Well, I am on the hunt for a therapist. I managed to get ahold of the person I had in HS and she made some recomendations, that helped. Hopefully I can find someone who wants to help me, because I want to help myself, I just dont know how. Thank you everyone for your advise and support, it is greatly appreciated
