Alot of the time if you admit it, oh yea I used to cut myself, they assume someone else is dealing with it and you are dealing with it and there's nothing left to worry about.
I've gone to the docs a couple times with fresh burns/cuts.... Wasn't really comfortable. But they didn't ask anything outright, just were like, that doesn't look too good. I was like, eh, it's ok. It doesn't hurt. I watch kids, and sometimes they notice my cuts (sh*t sh*t sh*t) and I tell them i'm a clutz and scratched myself again, falling or walking through some bushes again. The docs are alot easier to fool than the kids.
But if they are all old, just talking about it nonchalantly like it's no big deal and the doc will think it's no big deal too.
Sometimes I wish it wasn't that way, when I wanted a doc to stop me and help me but I wasn't capable of asking for help, so I just acted nonchalant, and so nothing was done. So its almost too effective. Of course, I am the little actress, or so i'm told........
