Mini Series

Hey everyone!

I hope all is well and I have a few things to throw out there for you.

I would like to try to create a mini-series type of thing but I can only do it if I can get an actual group  of people. Some things to mention: Your name and age will be completely confidential, I can use a fake name or initials, whatever you prefer. You can send everything to my aol email and if your name is in your email address or something please know I only use it to find you in my inbox and that's it. As far as what to say (if you're interested) you can think of the following questions and add anything else you like. There's no deadline and as I said before it's not set in stone yet so I'll let everyone know if it's going to happen or not. These are in no specific order so feel free to combine then or move them around. I know there are a lot of questions here so you can read through them and work from that. I'd like this to be a "story" rather than an interview and basically this is your story told through your eyes. Not a doctors, not your family or friends, but through YOUR eyes so make your story special. If you don't like some of the questions or don't feel comfortable with some then change it! It's your turn so give it a shot...

Where are you at in the recovery process? (if you aren't recovering you can still participate, just keep it positive and non triggering)

How long have you self injured?

What types do you engage in? (all are welcome to discuss not just cutting)

Do you have a support system and who  is it?

If you are in treatment for SI what kinds have you tried or use? (medication, therapy, holistic medicines, etc)

Mental illnesses?

Why do you self injure?

What works to lessen the amount/severity?

What doesn't work?

What are your triggers?

Have you ever stopped entirely? (If you have stopped and restarted or if you've stopped entirely or anything in between)

If you still self injure do you want to stop? Or are you not ready yet?

If you could say anything to fellow self injurer whether they're just beginning, scared to ask for help, or just  another self injurer like yourself what would you say to them? Anything.
