i was 18 i went to the dr for something else that was making me really sick. i had went to her for this same problem a few years right before and she basically mislead me abloo long story, so the second time she str8 up told me "i can't help u with that hope u find someone who can OMG UR ARMS!! im sending u to the hospital ASAP" and the scars were more than a year old
anyway i had to show them which sucked of course and if i ever felt like my privacy was gone, it was then. my mom got in my face and asked me stuff like "why do u do this does it feel good" etc. i went for an eval for a day and they gave me papers with information about calling a therapist and nothing happened after that, same experience as you here - no1curr but a few times a year my mom will start a massive fight with me, feel guilty and check my arms
