Covering the marks
Alright so cat has stopped cutting (Yay) but now I'm using runner bands to keep myself in order. I haven't cut for about two weeks but now I have a new problem the marks made by the rubber bands...How long does it usually take them to dissapear and is there anyway I can hide them? I don't want people to come here and tell me how bad it is because without the bands I know what I would do. Right now I just need to know how to cover the welts that the bands make. Any help?
I'm not now nor am I planning on seeing a shrink...I don't think I need that.

What you need versus what you think you don't need are two vastly different things. I'll be blunt here. You need to admit that you have a problem and seek help or be plagued by it needlessly.
There is NOTHING wrong in seeing a psychiatrist at all. A lot of famous people and high profile people that you respect see them regularly. There's no shame in it and they aren't out to judge you at all. They're there to help and in fact may be your best friend for turning your life around.
Obviously you HATE cutting and want to stop it completely. The only way you can do that is with medical help and proper medication. Your problem is a mental health issue whether you like that or not.
The rubber bands won't help much. If all it takes is taking an anti depressant and dealing with a shrink once every two months isn't that worth it? You need healing and not a stand in for cutting. You can't escape your illness because it will always be there unless helped.
Just so you know, a shrink cannot put you in a psych ward or hold you for observation unless they think you're going to harm yourself or somebody else. Likely you'll be assessed and receive regular counseling and a prescription.
You ought to do this for yourself as you can't screw around with your health or a mental health issue for long as it will seriously bite you and become harder to handle.
You can hide cuts or welts from cutting in a variety of ways including clothing. I won't go into details because while you can hide the physical signs of your problem you won't fool anyone or yourself for long as the illness will still be there until you get help and move on with your life fully free of it. After all isn't that what you truly want?

im not sure how long they last, i know cuts last a while...which myne isnt healed, and i got it like...a month ago, but to cover them up use coverup makeup, long sleeve shirts or jackets/hoodies, or those tight excersice bands, im not sure what they are called. like sweat bands on your wrist.
i hope i helped

why are you putting rubber bands on your wrists that are too tight? just wear rubber bands that arent as tight and you wont have a problem with welts. unless youre using the rubberbands for pain instead of cutting..? and in that case you shouldnt be doing that. you need help. you need to talk to someone about what is making you feel so depressed. if you need to talk..drop a msg in my inbox. i would be glad to help.
