And trying to explain this to my family seems to be a dead end, they all care about me and I know that, they just want me to get better. but when I'm at the bottom of the barrel and my brain is racing a mile a minute about how I'm no good and I'm never going to make it, all it takes is a small piece of hot steel to silence those thoughts... even if it is just for a few minutes. I've tried explaining this to them but they just cant wont or ever truly get it, and it makes me feel sad and crazy...
And right now I'm at the point where I'm doing this daily, and I don't know what to do to stop it...

I cut and burned too and i have very visible scars, especially on my hands, forearms and. ..wait for it...yes! My face!
Rude people ask questions that are none of their business. I do one of two things...if it's a stranger, I tell then it's none of their business. If it's someone that I know but not particularly close to, I say I had an accident. Only to very close people do I tell the truth...and they already know so they don't ask.
You don't have to answer questions about your scars to anyone. It's none of their business.
