Wow DePressMe... What a post. Very very powerful. Thank you for sharing.

I think that I would ask you when I got to know you a bit as I am curious and I would like to know about you and your journey and those marks certainly tell a story. I suppose I think this of different surgeries I have had... the marks tell a story. Yours are more powerful. How does it feel when people look but do not ask and how well would you like to know someone before they ask you? I might feel more comfortable asking you in this venue then at a party say... Just curious.

I feel that your post is publishable and I feel that these words should be a piece of art...framed within your house..... and the house of others traveling a path of self harm. You are empowered and empowering and inspiring.

Rock on.
