well, this is a topic I know all too well. I have si'd my face many times over the past 3 years. Usually when I was really ill though. I wouldnt say it was for attention, at the time, I was past caring so was on self destruct mode, just cutting "everywhere", I didnt take into account that it would be obvious. I go to a mental health day centre, and everybody just accepted it, which I was grateful for at the time, as really didnt want to go into it. I wouldnt recommend si'ing on your face though, I did it quite badly every time, and it took months for the marks to fade. Plus it is a bit too obvious.

	The worst thing about depression — the thing that makes people phobic about it — is that it’s a foretaste of death. It’s a trip to the country of nothingness. Reality loses its substance and becomes ghostly, transparent, unbelievable. This perception of what’s outside infects the perception of the self, which explains why depressed people feel they aren’t “there.” -Chase Twichell
