Obtain comprehensive: Psychological evaluation (psychologist or a psychiatrist). You may need med to address any emotional disorder that you might have. If your cutting is associated w substance abuse – detoxification, 12 step program or rehabilitation may be needed. Talking therapy is necessary. Dialectic behavioral therapy (dbt) is gold standard. Find a therapist in your area who has expertise in dbt.

I had a 4th degree tear 4 months ago and I've just noticed a stitch hasn't devolved and my Dr didn't cut it when she did a few others. None of the Drs have mentioned it. Is it okay to leave? Should I see a dr about cutting it? Idk why they haven't cut it
