all the doctors i go to always ask me if i am a cutter... and i say that i used to be... one doctor saw one rather larger and more red scar and didnt believe me when i told her it was not a fresh one, that it has been about 5-6 months since i have cut, and she was like "no that is fresh" ... just cause its bigger and more red , that just means the cut was deeper and healed worse than others .... doesnt mean i am lying why would i lie anyway not like she can lock me up in a padded room... ive had doctors see fresh cuts like ones i did the day before and never lied to them just said i struggle with self injury and that i am seeing therapist for it, and they leave it at that... i hate when doctors dont believe me though, but it doesnt matter waht they think i know how long it has been since the last time i've cut and that is all that matters.
