And You Thought Child Proofing Was Bad...

Part of being a suicide risk is an obvious lack of privacy.  If people suspect you of attempting to slice an artery, or even self harming they tend to skip the knocking.  Living in someone's living room obviously affords you less privacy, which so far has not been a problem, more of an asset in Trevor and Melinda's efforts to keep me alive.  Melvor were proactive in their Kumari proofing, they bought electric razors so I wouldn't need supervision showering, (that might add some strain to the friendship) and they bought two lock boxes to store the many unsafe items.  I'm pretty sure the only way I could get into those is by killing Mel or Trevor for the keys, only see all of the dangerous items of the house have been removed, so I'd have to get very inventive.
Before being released from Cedar Springs, the psych hospital I was in we all had to sign that there were not any guns or weapons, they had no idea how safe I would be. Let's put it this way, I've hurt myself much less here then in the hospital.  Melinda may seem happy and oblivious, but I have learned that she is carefully monitoring every mood and behavior, she even writes down things I say.  She and Trevor actually went through every single item I own before packing them (even my underwear which Melinda still seems a bit traumatized about.)  They confiscated pens, blades of any kind, knives, pins, needles etc.  Our glasses will be replaced with plastic cups, and Melinda even cut herself with a hair clip to see how sharp it is.  Cutting is an addiction, much like the drug addict who will steal from a family member for heroin, I will do anything to hurt myself sometimes.
I am rarely out of the line of sight of one or the other of them unless I am with one of my friends who has been carefully instructed on Kumari care instructions for watching and protecting,  I'm pretty sure Mel is working on a set about how to not trigger Kumari, as well as a set on troubleshooting in case you do.  Living in a Kumari proof house is really not that bad... unless you are cooking, then it's a nightmare.  I've had to use the handle of a spoon to cut food before.  As I say "manners are for people who are allowed knives."

On a side note, my eyebrows are a nightmare because somehow we lost the tweezers in one of the lock boxes... please don't judge me.
