totally!! i only hide it at work. i don't like hiding it even there, but i just don't want to deal with the potential problems that might arise if i were open about it.

in my regular life though, i don't worry about it at all. right now i'm cutting on my legs because i want to wear t shirts to work, but i went to the pool at my apartment complex last weekend and no one said anything to me. i don't even think i got any strange looks, but i wasn't really paying attention. my husband doesn't really understand my self injury thing, but he doesn't think i should feel i have to hide it. as he told me last week "if they don't like the way it looks, that's *their* problem."
