<font color="green"> I have used the red marker once -- I chose to use the not permanent kind. After covering most of my arms and legs, I stepped into the shower. Since I am not one who has done a lot of cutting and seeing the flow of blood was a major draw watching the marker run with the water was almost as good as real blood. My therapist thought I was very creative LOL not really I borrowed that ideal. But for one night it was enough. Every night that I manage to avoid cutting is one more night of building the strength to stop; learning stategies to cope in new ways; finding more reasons to continue to keep my skin intact.
