I am no longer an active self harmer but I still have noticeable scars on my arm and wrist. I sometimes cover them and sometimes I don`t. I do hate explaining about them though. Once an old friend from school asked about them and I just said it was an accident and there it was left. I hate my scars . When I look in the mirror sometimes I can`t believe that I did that to myself. When I was doing it I didn`t think about the long term I only cared about the instant relief it provided for me. Believe it or not I am sometimes still am tempted when things feel unmanageable to do it again.
