My earlier post about a “train wreck” in progress was indeed what i was feeling and seeing at the time. I had no help from providers, family, or friends. One thing I thought I would try is taking an inventory in my Journal of who was around me and how I felt about them. I realized there were a few “Toxic” people who continued to trigger me and continue to try to hurt me no matter what I did to change the situation. Those people unfortunately are really close to me. I had decided to just focus on my own things once more and confide in those who were knowledgeable, yet “safe” to me.
So far with good results this has been working.
I also wish to remind people that there is a group for Self Injurers on Yahoo
The link is:

There are many graduates from the SAFE Alternatives program there to share what
works for them, and also to talk to.
Hello. I am VERY NERVOUS as I type this !!!!!
I will try to make this as “simple” as I can . I attended S.A.F.E. about this time period in 2000 . I do not remember the “exact” dates , but I do remember it was very cold ! I am in search of those who were there with me ? We all did good keeping in touch after “graduating” , but after my Dad became ill , I did not do too good at it . So, if anyone out there might remember me – I am from Pittsburgh , alot of people referred to me as Grace and my husband , at the time my fiance’ – flew in from Pittsburgh to bring me home – I would love to hear from you !
I like the term “toxic” people ! I have a few of them myself and they are also very close !
Thank you for the link. I tried to join, but my computer kept timing out. Is there an e-mail address I can send a join request to? My e-mail is pugmom@st-tel.net.
