Funnily enough, I cut my finger off after playing assassins creed. I never told my family and friends and came up with a cover story
That's painful. Why did you do that?
The pain was too much. It was starting to get in the way of what I could do and how I could live.
I can see how scary it is to come clean about such a tragic situation, but this was a medical emergency so I'm sure your family wouldn't concern themselves about how you got it.
I really don't think they care enough to listen to me, they didn't even notice I was gone for a couple of hours.
Sometimes life can be very hectic and your family could have just been caught up in their own affairs for a bit. Keeping this in the dark will only grow the problem, so why not trying to come clean? I'm sure they really worry, but because you're not saying anything they just go on like normal.
