okay i'm a cutter and my whole family knows it, but they think that i quit because that's what i told my therapist and so she told them that i quit, but i didn't. so basically, what i do is wear a bunch of bracelets but it sucks ass and it doesn't work all that well so i need a really good way of covering them up. i live in texas so it's like 100 degrees here every day so wearing long sleeves is outta the picture. please give me any ideas i just need them covered up! thanks in advance!

I don't understand why any one would respond advising how to cover up cut wounds from inflicting injury to self. I also don't understand why you would post a question asking that type of question. It's hurtful and my heart drops to know that you are hurting yourself intentionally. Please contact your therapist and tell the truth also, please tell your parents the truth so that you can get the help that you really need to stop doing this to yourself. I am sure that you have reasons behind doing this, but can't you think of some other way to release what ever it is that's causing you to do this, serioulsy. Also, I am NOT trying to be a B or rude to you, I am just concerned about you.
Heal those wounds from the inside while healing the actual wounds you have caused yourself on the outside.
Praying for you and your family because I can't imagine what they too are going through as a result of this. Also, by not telling them the truth or your therapist you are also betraying trust of those that care so much for you to even seek and provide help. Please think about that.

The scars fade away really fast and are hardly even noticable after a few days...I use a brand called "Scar Zone" It is a topical scar diminishing cream that give you results immeadiatley. I hope it helps.

So far as bracelets go, you could wear bangles. Sooperthick like plastic ones! I dont know your style, but I think theyre sorta cute, but they do get in the way.
Another thing. Try coverup, or makeup, or something. It wont do the perfect job, but the scars wont look as 'intense'. After all, thats what THEY think they are, right? Just a few little scars? Or you get it. [ xxDearLee's advice column | Ask xxDearLee A Question ]
