i think you addressed the issue clearly. i probably don't have the response you are looking for, though. i don't necessarily have a mental illness dx i do have a history of self injury. while it may be easy to hide the crazy, as i like to put it, there is only so much i can do to hide the physical scars it has left behind. i'm not quite sure what the right way is to approach the topic and it is a major source of anxiety for me when i am considering any new relationships. i have tried a few methods. with some i will be upfront and have a short conversation about them. others i have said nothing and waited for the person to ask about the scars and then explain myself. i haven't figured out what is the best way to deal with it, but it is going to happen because there is only so much i can hide. for this reason i tend to stay away from close relationships from the start.
