well, there's lotsa cutters on psychology.
I agree, its a topic that can be misunderstood and sometimes flares up as a result....
But other topics cause flares too....
IMHO SInjury fits on psch quite well inasmuch as the reasons we do it are very psychological.
There are some good sites on the net that i at one time had bookmarked, but unfortunately have lost them as its not as much an issue for me as it was.
I also think that researching it on the net when you are feeling fragile may not be the best option either.
As for starting up another board...I think Bob is trying toreduce the number of boards cuz things get too spread out.
For example, if you were to post in the self harm forum, I would proly never see your post cuz I stay mostly on psych. It takes too much time to go to too many boards. I pop into social upon occasion, and admin. If I need to blurt, I goto writing.
Thats my thots from what I have seen here.
I think its OK on psych, and if you are feeling misunderstood, then say so (LOL! without getting a PBC! Now THERE'S a challenge for ya!). But I have seen it done delicately...and successfully. Sometimes if a thread is taking a turn you don't like, you can start a new one, with a diff angle, and I have done that too.
You can also bmail trusted babblers to try and get some help with a thread thats not going where you might like as well. Sometimes its easier for a diff person to help get back on topic.
Many options.
And sometimes it works....and sometimes it DOESN'T!
But I guess we take the good with the bad..
Take care,
M
