So I have been cutting for about 9 years now. As you would imagine I have quite a lot of scars...arms are covered in them. But I never thought it was 'bad'. I mean, never needed stitches, always cleaned up after myself, no infections etc.

Due to keeping my arms covered at all times my T has never seen the extent of the scarring, he asks about them but respects that I don't want to show them. When I saw the pdoc last week she had to take my blood pressure so had to take my hoody off. She spent a long time looking at the scars and deciding that they are really quite bad and it's more of an issue than I've made it out to be.

She then told my T about this.

I'm started to see someone new next week, in addition to my T. My meds are also changing.

Apparently everyone is quite worried about me...

Me, I just carry on doing what I do, not caused me any major problems so far. In fact, it doesn't cause the damage I want it to half the time so I don't see what all the fuss is about!
