Does your past self-harm follow you forever?
Self-Harm Recovery / by affectionateNorth7484

...See more I have not self-harmed in over 8 years, yet whenever I have to talk about it during any health intake appointment there seems to be a way that the healthcare provider changes. They become more on guard and careful and want to know more information about where I spend my time, if I have had any thoughts of self-harm or suicide recently, and if I have any recent events that have been stressful in my life. To be honest these are normal questions, but the urgency and increased level of attention to my answers after they learn that I self harmed at one point makes me feel like they are looking at me like a ticking time bomb. To others who have self-harmed and have not done so in many years, have you experienced this response? Does it ever change?
