Self Harm
As Ive mentioned before, I work as a nurse in Mental Health. Ive come across my share of self harmers, from cigarette burns on the arms to razors on the arms, thighs, face, neck. Blood, mess, distress. The amount of tendon/nerve damage that goes on is appaling. Ive known people drink bleach (tastes "gritty" apparently), cover their arms with Mr Muscle oven cleaner and cover with cling film for a good deep wound. Ive seen diabetics whose BM was regularly so high the machine couldnt read it (this can (and did) lead to multiple organ damage).

Still, you gotta laugh aint ya.

You've gotta laugh. If you don't, you're probably numb and therefore self-harming.
It's possible to do it and not leave scars.

I have many cigarette burns on my arms
from the good ole days when you could smoke in clubs and people would be dancing waving those little feckers about with reckless abandonment...

Bastards (and I do smoke but never where there's a chance of me mutilating people!).
