hey, I have swimming in gym in about 5 days. I used to be a cutter and I still have the scars on my arms. I don't want anyone to see the scars. I am no longer injuring myself, but the scars are very noticable. Can anyone give me advice as to how to hide the scars in the pool? Thanks so much. I will rate high for good answers.

I think you should tell them if they ask. You may be a help to someone else who has the same problem. Overcoming a problem like that is very admirable. If you are no longer cutting, just let people know it is possible to stop. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
