I hope you would consider bumping up the rating on this, first of all. This is written pretty well, compared to most I read about cutting. I understand where this is coming from - I tried cutting once, and the marks I have are enough to keep me from doing it again. I don't know what seperates this, but the language you wrote it in is simply wonderful. It has a gentle, calm effect to a scary subject. Good work. Keep writing, k.
