Question Posted Sunday April 9 2006, 7:12 pm

Okay so I used to cut myself, but I've gotten somewhat better now. I have gym tomorrow and the uniform is a t-shirt. I don't want anyone to see the scars/scabs on my arms and make a big deal. Can anyone tell me how to cover my arms in gym, without being really obvious? Please don't tell me to get help for cutting myself, I am in the process of doing so. Thanks so much, I'll rate high.

Wear a long sleeve shirt and stop cutting. If you feel you can't, seek psychiatric help. Any kind of enduring self harm issue is serious and needs to be discussed with a health professional.

How about a sweatband? Many people at gyms wear sweatbands. No one will be the wiser, you'll fit right in. You could also wear a poofy scrunchie.

I used to do the same thing. It will get better...trust me. But for now, either use foundation cover up, (Dream Matte Mousse, by Maybeline). This stuff is awesome! I use it faithfully for my face when I wear makeup, or, (I don't know exactly how bad your scratches are or what they look like), but, you could always tell people you were playing with a cat or something. Believe me, anyone with a cat will know how much damage they can cause if you are really getting into wrestling with them. Well, I hope I helped. Good Luck to you.

Well, you could always wear a long sleeve shirt under, or just let them show.

I'm also in the process of getting help for my cutting, and I know what it's like to wanna hide from everyone when you were short sleeves.

I mostly wear hoodies to hide them, but I can't hide who I am. Cutting is something cutters can't help. If you don't cover it, just let them stare. It might feel odd, and you might wanna hide it, but who cares what they think.

But, like others said, wear a long sleeve shirt under.

Hey,

I used to cut too, I have just recently stopped completely.

I have very noticable scars all over my body, and I know how you feel about not wanting everyone to see them.

I would recommend either just baring it and telling everyone that you are getting help, or like the other person said wearing a long sleeved shirt underneath.

What I did was I just let them show, and a lot of people just stared and didn't say anything, and the still treated me the same.

I don't know if you feel different from me, but I see my scars as more of a story, and a reminder of what I have been through. So that is what got me to just go through it, and not care if people saw my scars or not.

Well I hope I helped.

I'd consider wearing a long sleeve shirt underneath and just tell everybody you were cold. Hope that works!
