I've had a problem with self-injury as a result of Schitzo-affective disorder for almost 20 years. No one knows outside my husband and doctors. Today a friend stopped by when I was in a tank top and noticed the scars that cover my upper arms. I was so afraid he'd be disgusted by me and leave. But he just rolled up his sleeves and showed me that he had scars too. Knowing I'm not so alone anymore MMD
