are the cuts on the inside of your arms? get used to sleeping with your bracelets on....I never take my jewelry off....

take it off right before you go to bed after lights out.

I have learned to keep my arms turned so my scars face down so they are not visible to others. and when they do show up, most people down ask about them. the only time I have been asked is at the doctors office and I have responded that life has been difficult in the past.

be prepared with an answer if they do ask so that you don't feel put on the spot. be honest about what you do. people don't like liars. say you have had a traumatic past and you have used cutting as a coping skill. if they have any questions you would be happy to sit down and talk to them about it at anothe4r time when you feel more prepared to discuss it.

hope this helps. take care.
