thanks zen,
i was in therapy for a few months, but only for about 5 months and i'd see him every 4 weeks. both my mom and i would talk to him. i stopped in august b/c it was too much of a hassle for her. my mom doesn't like the image of one of her kids being in therapy, and god save her if someone found out. so i figure, i act as "normal" as i can, or just seem that way, and if i ever really wanted to go back to counseling i'd go myself when i get a license. i didn't really like being in therapy anyway, esp. group, ewww.

so i'm fine until next summer, as long as i hide any new cuts or scars from family/friends. i'll be okay, for the most part..maybe.
