Anyone is welcome here regardless of their intentions or plans DD. But remember it is our duty to remind you of the potential pitfalls/dangers of withdrawing on your own. I would also add that just because you've done it before is no guarantee that it will work this time. Subsequent withdrawals can become worse than previous ones at any time. I ended up in the ER the last time I withdrew on my own because I underestimated how bad things could get.

Bottom line, you are always welcome here no matter what - but please at least have help at the ready if you need it. It can literally be a life or death decision in rare cases.
