I made the mistake of cutting up my arm pretty badly the day before my annual physical. There was no doubt that it was self -inflicted. When my Dr. asked about it, I just said it was something I did sometimes, and that I was seeing a therapist about it. She asked for the name of the therapist, and asked me some questions to make sure I wasn't suicidal, but pretty much left it alone after that.
But she still asks me if I'm cutting now, when I have my annual physical.
