Are there any self harm forums like this ?

[meghead]

I've tried to find communities that actually acknowledge self harm. Communities that, when I say I want to hurt myself, they won't just respond with, "No !! Try drawing on ur hands it'll make you feel better !! :D"
I was wondering if anyone knew of a forum or something similar to this for specifically self harm.

I learned how to be a cutter at 19 - didn't even know it was an option till I saw it in a made for tv movie. I've never sought treatment for the self harm specifically, but have disclosed it to therapists during counseling for general screwed up-ness. They really tell you to draw on your hands?! Is that for real? That's preposterous. For me, that would be less effective than chewing on a straw when I actually want a cigarette. This is the professional recommendation? How demoralizing.
