Rare and potentially pretty triggering rant, sorry!
I am all for acceptance and understanding people, but it goes too far when pictures are posted onto social networking sites of your possible self harm. I don't care whether you hurt yourself or you didn't, or whether it was for attention or because it's a genuine problem - do not post it online. It's not cute or artistic, it's triggering and it's insensitive. Your family and friends will worry when they see that and people who havent seen you since you were 11 (me.) will worry too. I can't stand it. I see it online all the time - people think it makes them special because they post these pictures but it doesnt. Even if thats not the reason for posting them, even if it's a personal reason, just don't. It's really unpleasant and really unsettling for everyone. It's so public and it's just not fair.
Rant over.
