@clydeblack: I sympathize with you about hot weather causing us to wear clothes that reveal our self-inflicted scars. I feel so good when the cool weather comes and i can wear long-sleeves again. It must be hard to get nosy questions about your scars. In the 21 years i've had them i've only had a few comments. One was from a ten-year-old boy. Perhaps because mine are on my arms and it's pretty clear what they are? Anyways, sorry you have to deal with that.

Congratulations on resisting self-harm for six months! Glad things are looking up!
