I'm giving platelets on Sunday at the blood donation center. I always get triggered when I have people see my arms. I just read about what it is like to give platelets. I didn't realize they would be using both arms. I have worse scars on one arm than the other. So when I normally give blood I do it on the side that I feel isn't as bad. But this time the person will have to see both arms. I know I am going to be triggered from this. I know I will want to self harm afterward. But hopefully I can keep it together and rest in the fact that I'm helping someone with cancer or some other need for platelets and I can not get triggered.
