mike, it has totally depended on the evaluator for me. There were some people that understood that self-injury was "just" a coping mechanism, and there were others that thought a few small scrapes were a suicide attempt. I think it depends on their education/familiarity with self-injury, rigors of the day, how often you show up, and (sadly enough) your disgnosis...

jacq, did you get a chance to talk to anyone today? how'd the rest of your day go?
