Yes, I would go.
Everybody needs support in their life; and while online support is good also... People that are physically there for you are better (At least in my opinion).... They can give you a shoulder to cry on and a hug when you need it... You can reach out and get help... But you can help people also. Everybody there has or is going through the same problem as you are.. And it's easier to talk to someone that has experienced the same thing as you rather than talk to someone that has no idea how you're feeling. |

I would go. I struggled for a long time basically alone. And now that I am doing a lot better I would want to go to help other and to help myself stay strong.

I would go. I think it would be great if there was a support group where I live.
I think it would be really helpful to get to meet with people who have gone and are going through the things that you are. I have a lot of trouble talking about what im going through with people where I live because they havent experinced it they cant relate to how im feeling. So if there were a group of people that can it'd be great.  |

I voted 'no', mostly because I live in a small town, surrounded by other small towns; everyone knows everyone else, and most people don't know about my self harm... I'd rather it stayed that way.
I like the idea of a support group, though, and if I lived in the city, I'd seriously consider going to one. |

I would probably go. My reasoning behind that is that I'd like to meet and talk to people going through the same things as me and to have people who understood to support me. I think it would be a great way to meet supportive friends

I wouldn't go. Ick, a room full of strangers judging you. Yes, they'd be judging, by the way I talk, the way I dress, the way I fidget... It'd all come down to me being judged negatively. >_<

I'm in the same position as Chess, I live in a very small village and everyone knows everyone's business enough as it is :| If there was one in a town about 10 miles away I would though.

I definitely would if there was one! It's hard to cope by yourself, and people can understand you more.
 I wanna sing, I wanna shout, I wanna scream till the words dry out. So put it in all of the papers, I’m not afraid, They can read all about it Read all about it |

I think it would depend. I might, or might not.

I have actually already been to one, so I clicked yes.
And it was an adult support group, so out of the 7-8 of us, whilst I was still the youngest, there was quite a range of ages. They were actually a lot more understanding of stuff than I expected, quite friendly and stuff. And I think, all in all, I benefited from it.

Definitely.
You can lose yourself. Everything. All boundaries. All time. And just when the sweet confusion is so intense you think you're gonna die... you kind of do. Leaving you alone in your separate body, but the one you love is still there. That's a miracle. You can go to heaven and come back alive. You can go back anytime you want with the one you love. .Lily. former HelpLink Mentor. email me anytime <3 |

I don't self harm any more, but if I did, I wouldn't go to a support group or any form of group therapy. I do not work well in groups of people when I'm uncertain about something - I wouldn't have the confidence to go to a group which was concerned about something as personal as self harm. If you have that confidence or do enjoy socialising with others, I'm sure a support group would be good. However, I don't think that it would have benefitted me. I also wouldn't want my family to find out that it was a group for self harm.

I've already been to a group therapy for it. Granted there were only 4 sessions and i only went to two for reasons...
But i actually enjoyed it. And made two new friends  x
How come dumb stuff seems so smart while you're doing it?
Good friends get drunk with you. Best friends hold your hair back when you've had a bit too much to drink! There's no such thing as good girls gone wrong, only bad girls found out. I've learned... that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.     |

I would definitely go.
I don't care who would see me there, or who would see me walk in there. I just want help. There's no one else as lovely as you, and no one else has my heart. <3 Please don't tell me that I'm the only one that's vulnerable. |

ummm... I might go...
It all depends really... I know there is one near where I live and I could get there easily but for some reason I'm scared to go. One - I have to ring up to say I'm going, two - I don't want my parents to know where I am,  el·e·gance (adj): A refined quality of gracefulness. |

If I could get there without my parents knowing, then I would go. Online support is amazing, don't get me wrong! But it's never quite the same as real-time support from others who struggle with the same things.

I wouldn't go, I couldn't go. I don't want to SH anymore, but then I would be telling my parents that I still do. I don't want them to know that.
