How did you hurt your arm?
i had a really bad night and scratched open some lines on my arm that were healing - not too bad but it started bleeing a lot more than i anticipated (probably because i'd scratched open lines that were already there), the blood has dried on it now though and it doesn't hurt anymore
To me, that is cutting. I used a pin once and made my arm bleed and it looks really bad even now.
I am really glad your appointment went well but sad you didn't say anything about Starbuline, she is a big part of your life.
Yeah the lines I did on my hand a couple months ago are still there, which surprised me as I did that with the pin on a badge as well and thought they'd fade away completely pretty quickly. I wouldn't have done them on my hand if I'd known. The ones on my arm will probably stay quite a while, one of them is wider than just a thin line, because of the way my arm was, so it sort of goes in more.
I wish I could talk about her to people IRL
I feel really bad about it really, especially after I first started talking to her family in October/November. I don't tell my mum about people online as she'd just think I was talking to creepy people and stuff (low awareness of danger from AS or whatever it is), but Sophie's family already knew about me and about Flo and things when they emailed me. I know it's stupid to feel guilty about, but I feel bad that I don't talk about her to anyone here, when she used to talk to them about me and things. She never even told me she talked about me to them so I didn't know. It looks like she's not important enough to me for me to talk about her to people outside of the internet, when it's obviously not that
