laughing at a someone who SI's is equal with laughing at anyone who suffers for any reason. i hide my scars and lie when necessary.

i wish i didn't have to hide. i wouldn't mind if people saw my scars if i thought i wouldn't be seen as a nut case, especially at work and with the parents of my son's friends.

i only recently "came-out" to my T and it's so nice not to have to sit on my hands any more during sessions, i wish i could live more like that.

i cut and bruise to relieve pain and i have to be able to see my pain on my skin. it feels normal to me i wish other could accept that.
