This happened... **TW cutting/image**

So IDK if this is like "cutting" or what- cuz we don't know when it happened or how we got it.

We had been running the weedeater and Angel and I were both out at times during that, along with Zor (who started it... and finished maybe Angel did- kinda fuzzy)... but like in the shower the water on these caused it to hurt and we saw these... scratches/cuts on our leg... ???

Kinda scary to get this and have NO IDEA how/when.

Crud image is "adult" cuz the cuts... says you need to sign in to see it. IDK how to show it without that, so...???

Hmm. For now i would put a lot of sharp objects knives, scissors, razor blades ect. In a secret place or an area that may be a pain to access. That might give you more time to see whats going on. If you have a SO have them hide the objects if possible so you don't know where they are. If you need sharp objects in your daily life maybe a box with a lock might be good so you and other stable alters can access them.

If you think it wasn’t from an alter it might be good to maybe try and hold a meeting with alters just to make sure everyone is on the same page and knows what happened. One alter may remember taking a tumble and getting hurt so it might be good to just make sure. If it was neither of those it could be sleep walking maybe?

Yeah, Zor's SO thinking this is going could be bad... thinking it's self-harm... cuz like she was so totally willing to accept B's accusation of us being "demons"... and hid a gun from us then...

We're NOT suicidal... NONE OF US (unless it's hidden even from me, which would SHOCK ME) are... so I am totally baffled by this... but then, I guess from what I've read... self-harm is NOT generally connected to suicide and suicidal thoughts anyway... kinda a diff deal entirely...

Just like worried me a bit... more than it did Zor who just put neosporin in it to prevent infection...

We are working on the "inner meeting" deal... trying to get us all not just willing to (that's not the hard part, honestly), but ABLE to- that's been the harder part.

Hi Pixie,

Glad you're okay, and hope you work this out so that you stay safe.

MDs

We are ok. It's like barely surface level, not even really "bleeding"... just sorta there... and it's like weird.

What's a weedeater? Is it a weedwhacker? Like the thing with the string that whips around and cuts down weeds? It couldn't have made those marks, right? And also, where is it kept? With other tools and sharp things that your leg could have brushed against when you were getting it out? (Just some random non-DID-related ideas...)

Or maybe someone did see something sharp there and took the opportunity to make the cuts, when you weren't "looking."

But, yeah, definitely a mystery that needs solving.

Yeah like stringy weed whacked dealie and no it wouldn’t make something that fine even if that DID hit our leg (it never did).

It looks like cat claws sharp. But we have no cats.

Truly is a mystery.

My mom accidently got my leg with the weed eater one time. It would look more like a bruise than a scratch. Maybe you got cut by briars?

Hey Pixie,

If you all were out dealing with weeds, were there any of the ones with the little spikes? Thorns or thistles or whatever they're called?

Walking through or into a bunch of those can make like, fine little scratches and stuff. Could be like not an intentional thing, but like even if you're just distracted or a little dissociated for a bit and not notice it happening?

We hope you're all safe and stuff.

Just low well cut grass, too... no weeds even, much less thorny stuff... super super weird.

Best I can figure, IF it is from the weedwhacker would be from like gravel/sand somewhere we didn't see... but it's the back of the leg and not easily struck by stuff... so IDK... ???
