i used to always put the cuts on my ankles so nobody would see them. but the last time i did, i had cut so deep that the socks were sticking and i had to let them air out while i slept. i thought nobody knew i cut, i would always say i had accidently scraped myself. well, that morning my son came in my room while i was in bed and he saw my ankles and started crying. he said, " ARE YOU TRYING TO CUT THEM OFF?!" thats when i decided to stop. i just hate the fact that it took him seeing it to realize how bad it was. (even though i have cut a few times since then on my ribs, i do not intend to revisit my ankles) and i havent cut at all in over 4 months.
