When I saw you got a letter published I went out and bought the magazine. You can tell they only published part of your letter. It doesn't really connect back to the article, just explains your situation. What else did you write? Why did they only publish part of it?

Even if the patient is legally an adult, 18 years of age?

I just read this article completely. First of all, I don't think the choking game should be put on the same page as si and anorexia. From what I gather, that game is about achieving a high like being on drugs. That is definitely not what si and anorexia are about. And in this article there are so ma...

I'm 18, so I'm not too worried about them talking to my parents. I just would rather not get professional help for si, I just want to talk, you know? It's fine if they referred me to someone else, but I probably wouldn't go. I just don't want them to flip out and send me to a hospital or something. ...

I have not read the article, but I would like to--was it in a recent issue? I'm pretty sure my mother has a subscription, perhaps we have it.

From my experience, there are many more sites like this one that actually help than there are sites that encourage si and ed. Websites like this one help me feel like I'm not alone, which can mean everything in the world. I don't like how Reader's Digest is giving parents the wrong idea about their ...

I'm thinking about seeing a counselor at my college (not just about si but about some issues in general) and there's a part of their confidentiality statement about exceptions, and one of them is immenent harm to self or others: if a staff member has reason to believe that you are in danger of physi...

So I asked my boyfriend if he had any old shirts we could wear and all he had were short sleeves. I told him I needed a long sleeve shirt and he knew damn well why, but my friend doesn't k...

I think you've taken the first step by talking to someone. Even if it's just a stranger on the internet, it helps so much just to know that you're not alone. When I feel like cutting, sometimes it's in addition to the cutting, I write a letter to someone who's making me upset or angry and I just get...

JB: WHY DO YOU FUCKING HATE ME?? All I ever did was love you and you can't even stand me. I want to get better, I'm not blaming this on you, I'm sorry for every little thing I ever did that was wrong. But I'm still a good person, I never did anything to hurt you. And you're killing me.

I'm new to this, I decided to go halfway and find help without actually finding professional help, you know? So I used to cut myself in high school, due to trauma from failed relationships, overall stress, whathaveyou. But I stopped, without getting help... I just got to a point where I felt like I ...
