>I vividly recall the bright, red blood gushing out of my arm in contrast with the stark white of the sink - with absolutely NO awareness that I was bleeding. My roommate walked in, took one look, and passed out cold. God as my witness, I distinctly remember thinking, "Gosh, I wonder what's wrong with her. I better help her."
The book "Cutting" describes this kind of event--I think the example was a teen who called 911 because her little sister was freaked out. You can guess the reason why the little sister was freaked out.
I agree with Coral about making a plan for safety. That is the number one priority.
