this "Written account" of which you speak was exactly what I was aiming for. I wanted a stream of consciousness- laced interior monologue, detailing what I did to myself, and how it felt. Yes, I used creative liscence (I have never tried to slit my own throat, and I never did it with the intent of dying), but this was my way of dealing with something that has had a profound and continuing impact on my life. "Subjects like this call for subtlety", I'm sorry, but unless you have actually cut yourself, you have no place telling me or anyone else how such things "Should" be addressed. How a person deals with a situation like this is entirely up to them, there is no wrong answer, there is no "Should". The fact that you se fit to dictate to me how to address something so important and personal to me, with, so far as my knowledge stretches, no experience of it yourself, I find insulting in the extreme. You are entitled to your opinion, and your own way of dealing with things, please allow me mine.
