They would never rationalize my decision to join this forum. I know they would be deeply concerned about my health and would want me to leave this website immediately. Though, simultaneously, they cannot understand my self-harm, my disconnection from community, and my desire to end my own life. They'll force me away from SaSu to "better my mental health," yet they have no idea how to handle my struggles. I'd find myself paired with a therapist and in a cycle of failing to be understood all over again. I have been let down by the people I love time and time again, and I am genuinely not interested in 'reaching out' to people beyond this community anymore. I wouldn't be here, if my friends and family could understand my struggles or if the 'help' I was provided with actually helped me.
