Does anyone else have any other ways it can ruin your life? Maybe by hearing them it can give us that extra boost to stop.
Last year during summer vacation, my friends took a celebratory road trip. After our high school graduation, they loaded up his van and went to LA for a month. I was going to go, I wanted to go, I just didn't want anyone at a beach to see my scars on my legs... Only one person on that trip knows about my SI but I'd never shown my scars to any one and I still haven't. This year, they are going to go on a cruise to Tulum. I signed up for summer courses at the community college as a lame excuse to not go. I'm too afraid of my skin to have fun with my friends. I want to stop, I even started saving money for laser skin resurfacing and I told myself if I stop, I'll get my scars removed.
