I made most of my cuts look like "accidents", usually requiring stitches. Hands, fingers, palms, elbows, forearms, toe and foot.

The majority of the not as deep cuts were to my abdomen.Several years ago I had major abdominal surgery. I was ashamed when the doctor saw my stomach naked. She rubbed her hand over the scars and looked at me quizzically, saw I was upset and said, "don't worry, I see that all the time. We'll work on that later".

After I recuperated from the surgery she talked to me about a psychiatrist she recommended. I trusted this woman so I thought I would give it a try. That was 13 years ago and I still have this pdoc! Undeniably, she has saved my life in more ways than one.

I haven't cut in a long time.
