All up my arm.. (Poss trig)

[Melodys]

I did it in places that people couldn't see like my thighs and stomach, but that stopped being satisfying, because it didn't look like I punished myself more cuz I went over old ones. I finally gave in to do it on my arm... How on earth do I cover it up until it heals without being totally obvious!

Praying!
I'm sorry you're struggling with this, sweetie.
Long sleeves always help with hiding the scars.
Are you able to talk to someone about this?

 

[ChristianEMT]

I just wanted you to know that I am praying for you! If you need anyone to talk to, please PM me.

I'll be praying, I know when I cut I wore long sleeves with thumb holes as it's kinda stylish now.. If you need someone to talk to I'm always happy to help. I may be young but I know my stuff and have gone through a lot But I know my scars have never gone away over a year now..

 

[Lord Amithaba]

I'll pray for you <staff edit>
God may bless you.

I keep my arms by my sides and always have a cover story, I go walking on a rocky breach every week and so if someone asks I say I tripped on my walk and they don't question me any more. But long sleeves are great for the winter but really hard to ber in the summer, especially is it's hot. Hope you find this helpful and it eases up.

I also will be praying for you. Long sleeves is a little less noticeable this time of year depending what the weather is where you are so that's an option. Like others have also said, if you need to chat feel free to PM me I'm always around. And if you have someone in your area you're comfortable talking with who's grounded and stable, do that. I found it helped me quite a bit.

I've run into that same problem; I did it on the arm during the winter, so long sleeves were okay, but I also work out daily and worried about being able to cover them at the gym without overheating. You should try Under Armor (light, breathable fabric that athletes wear, it comes in long sleeves in black, white, and blue,) or some kind of sheer long-sleeved blouse open over a t-shirt or tank top. Otherwise, depending on how fresh/clear the scars are, you may be able to wear concealer or dermablend (used to hide birthmarks, etc.) But please, be safe, and don't keep hiding. Talk about this with someone who you trust, who can be stable for you. God loves you and is sad that you're in pain like this.

Arm warmers have been saving me for a while. I made my own because I can't buy them at the store (my dad won't take me anywhere). The only way that I pull off the whole "arm warmers" look is because I am known to "march to the beat of my own drum." I could get away with wearing toe socks and flip flops if I wanted too. lol

But, just remember, we are praying for you. There are people out here that are wise beyond their years, know what you are going through, and would love to help you anytime of day if you needed them. (ME!!)

 

[SavedXI]

I am praying for you.

I know what it feels like going through situations like these..

stay strong dear.














oh & long sleeve shirts or jackets work well.
Hang in there!

God bless<3

I just wore long sleeves all year long, no one knew I cut until recently.
