Does anyone have any input as to why I am having this urge to harm myself in such a visible place? I don't want to have to explain bandages and new scars, but I am having this urge...

Do you think maybe I subconsciously want someone to see/

I agree with some of the posts on here, that maybe its a cry for help. I used to do it (erm, on my face tho), I had to make excuses up all the time as to why I had black eyes/scratches/a bust lip etc. I never realised why I alway aimed for the face until one day my mate suggested that I might be doing it for attention (not in a bad way tho) and it might be a subconscience cry for help... even if you feel like you dont need help.

If your already recieving help for this though, i suggest you try and keep em covered as it is an absolute pain in the butt making up excuses for your injuries... not to mention the shame of people realising your injuries really are just 'excuses'

take care hun, babyg xxx
