for the past year i've been keeping my "tools" in a jewelry box. bandaids, cotton, safety pin, razor, gauze, tape. before then i was still trying out new spots to hide my stuff so i didnt have this somewhat perminant spot. now that i've been sleeping more downstairs i keep my stuff in my make up bag because my mom doesn't have a reason to go in there. I almost always cut while i'm getting ready for a shower. i turn on the water so she thinks i'm in the shower but i cut before getting in. i cut before a shower because my mom won't be suspecting anything at that time, it's calming knowing that no one will interrupt me, and i like the sting from the water. whether i cut in my room where there's privacy or before a shower i usually am infront of a mirror to watch myself and look at the cuts from another veiw through the mirror. i always do these things.
