Friend: "Why didn't you tell me about the cutting, depression, and therapy?"
Me: "Oh sorry I just assumed you knew. I mean after all you've known me for five years."
Friend: "You have to stop! I'll tell your parents!"
-_- Really? As if that hasn't already happened.
I have quite a lot of scars bunched together on my thighs, and I was doing a dive in front of my swim instructor, and before I was going to dive in, she asked if I wanted her to turn around and not look.
Just when I was almost comfortable in my body/with my scars.
Today my friend asked me if i was still SI-ing, and did the cutting motion across her wrist while she asked. It's not the first time that someone who knows about my SI has done it to me.
Of course, i looked away and refused to reply her.
"D*mn it, we've got another f***ing cutter." One of the paramedics when I od'ed. I also didnt appreciate how the pmo just started lifting up my sleeves and taking pictures without even asking first. That just really pissed me off.
^ That is disgusting, I would advise you to report that.
Meh, it was unprofessional, but they were probably just annoyed at having to deal with an OD. As for pmo, I'll be mentioning the issues I had with them when I go there tomorrow to try and get my pocket knife back.
my best friend told me if i ever cut again he was going to tell his mother who works at CATC ( if you sh they can keep you there for 2 weeks) to tell my mum.

But an OD is just as serious as any other reason that a paramedic might have to treat you. No one should be spoken to in that manner.
This one is probably the weirdest, and it came from one of my closest friends of 3 years, so I laughed along with him, but one time randomly he turned to me and said "your arm looks like a panini" and burst out laughing, and he was telling other people like "KRISTEN'S A PANINI!!!!" and no-one understood, so he tried to get me to show some people who I trust a little bit... It hurt he was so happy to show off my scars, you know?

True, but I cant imagine they would have to deal with OD that often. Mostly they've probably been dealing with heat cases.

when wearing a long sleeve tshirt 'you're not cutting again are you'
no I'm not, i'm wearing it because its fecking freezing its winter!
When I was younger I went to the doctors who commented 'that's a very nasty deep cut. That will scar badly, do you realise you will have to live for that for the rest of your life. did you not think about that?!'
well clearly I wasn't intending to stick around to have to live with it dippy moo
The classic oooh what have you done to your arm, you'renot one of those are you?....one of what exactly? someone please enlighten me into this mysterious club you join the first time you end up with a scar....
I got this one of my mother but it'll need a bit of explaining first but I think well I dont know how to explain, I dont know if its breaking any rules, I;ll hide it

a bout a month ago I had a jacket on and my glasses on too i tried to pull the jacket over my head and because my glasses are at an odd angle thanks to my dodgy eyes that are different directions as i pulled my glasses over my head along with the jacket, the jacket came off, the glasses dug into my head and made a massive line down the middle of my head
When I showed up at my mum's the following week [i was living independently at this point, im not anymore] she went "how did you do that?" I told her and got in return "I dont believe you, your always making up things to cover up what YOU'VE done"
I WAS TELLING THE TRUTH!!!!

Actually, I think they probably see a lot of ODs. At least, around here they do. If I listen to a the police scanner app on my phone (I do this sometimes -- I know it's kind of weird, but I generally have some reason, like today I was trying to figure out why there was a helicopter flying back and forth over my neighborhood for ages), it seems like a good quarter or so of the calls are about either ODs, attempted suicide, or someone feeling suicidal. Granted that's the police, not the paramedics, but basically, unless they know for sure what's going on, the police get the call too (so, for instance, if someone the paramedics are called to take someone to the hospital from a retirement home or whatever where they were already being looked after by nurses and such who told them what's going on, the police don't get called, but if someone collapsed in the street or something, the police generally do get called as well to see what's going on, in case there's anything either dangerous or illegal involved), so yeah...
And also, if they see enough ODs to be annoyed about seeing another one, then surely they must see them pretty regularly?
