I can see from what akc wrote that I did miss some important parts of the portrayal.
I smiled when you wrote that your view is skewed. I'm aware that it's my view that is considered to be a bit unusual.
Mind you I am the most careful cutter in the world. I use cuticle scissors, which would be incapable of cutting very deep. I always use alchohol to clean the skin and scissors first. I always use antibiotic ointment after to reduce scars. So I guess I tend to underplay the problem a bit too much because I feel like it's under control. Right now I'm not cutting much at all, largely due to my positive attachment to my therapist. He doesn't make me sign contracts or anything, but I know he would rather that I not do it. Maybe one day I'll quit doing it for myself, but it really doesn't seem that important. One step at a time.
