Welcome. We are a supportive community. Here, you can share about SELF INJURY, CUTTING, SUICIDAL THOUGHTS, EATING DISORDERS, DEPRESSION and anything else along those lines. Some of us want support, some of us want friendship, some of us just want to let off some steam. Write TRIGGER at the end of the TITLE or beginning of POST, if it is venting something that may cause others to trigger into cutting or cause depression. Whatever your reason, this a good place to come. Many of us have suffered from depression for many, many years and have attempted suicide a few times, and have had a problem with self injury. So, take care and welcome all of you. . If you need to contact the owners and or moderators. Send email to acryinthedark-owner@yahoogroups.com Please DO NOT THREATEN SUICIDE, just to GET ATTENTION! People here care about each other and threatening to harm yourself, in anyway, turns people off. Also do not threaten other members, if you do YOU WILL BE REPORTED TO YAHOO and BANNED PERMANENTLY. Also anyone having gone through SEXUAL PHYSICAL ABUSE contact the National Crisis Network open 24 hours a day at 1-800-656 HOPE or 4673 - for National Suicide Crisis Line call 1-800 SUICIDE. Or contact your Local Crisis Hotline and/or Women Crisis Center. DO NOT LET ANYONE TOUCH YOU in anyway without YOUR PERMISSION. Report any abuse immediately! Also, it is ok to advertise your own group once, but dont make a habit of it. Thank you! KEN, the Oldwhale
