last cut, at least intentional 'cause i'm a klutz, was about 4 years ago. i consider it the yardstick of my recovery from depression....i may have bad nights, i may have thoughts that scare me, but if i can keep the sharp stuff away from my arms...i haven't lost the fight yet.
i really did love the adrenaline, and it is "effective" as a short term response to the pain of depression or anxiety. it's just something i've decided is too close to self-destruction to tolerate as part of my life. i'm still proud of my scars in a way...they remind me of what i've gotten myself through.
