Cutting is bad. Here are some things that help me get through rough times. These quotes are quoted from my therapist. I hope that they help you
 : feel free to PM me anytime. I really care about you and will think about your issues and hope for the best that you can move on.“Just stop, press the pause button like a movie because what has happened doesn’t matter, you’re in the now, change what is happening now and forget about the past” “Cutting is really doing nothing; it’s a waste of time and is only going to ruin your life” “Do something instead of cutting to get yourself out of the problem of feeling nothing, take a hot or cold shower, just don’t be in for too long”

You'll only be making it worse for the long term.
It's only short term relief. |

By self injuring, the release lasts for that moment to get you through the rough time, however, it is only a band-aid for your real situation. All of your stressors are there, but they are what is being taken care of through that quick disposable band-aid. It really isn't worth it in the long term because those scars will last you for a very long time. If this helps, you could wear one of those bikini tops and bottoms, but let the bottom have a skirt atached to it. It will really help you for the sake of your kids. Best of luck and PM me anytime. I'm always open to help anyone.

I think it's AWESOME that you want to wear something more revealing, but I'm just wondering if you are also wanting to find some tools to stop hurting yourself - even if your mind has not caught up and it's more for not wanting others to see the scars. Maybe I'm reading it as the glass is 1/2 full but it sounds like you are taking a great step toward finding other ways to deal.

I think that is one of the hardest things for me, to acknowledge that there is a possibility that some changes are taking place. I hope that you will keep us posted with what is going on... |

 Are your scars very noticable?Mine just blend in into my skin a little bit. You can't see them from a distance. Do your boys know that you have self injured in the past as well as right now or are you hiding it from them? How old are your boys?  Another good excuse is that you want to protect yourself from the sun because you don't want sunburn  also, scars heal better if they are not recieveing too much sunlight I always use sport sunscreen to help my scar treatmentsBest of luck and warm wishes, keep me posted

Virtual cutting has never been one of my techniques, though I suppose I could try it sometime. I prefer dropping (virtual) heavy objects on my head. I can't say how this would work for you but if I ever did need to cut I'd go into my space, cut till I was good and ready to stop, then come back and resume whatever I was doing. No scars, no blood to mop up, takes no (real) time -- very convenient all around. (There's one teeny touch of irony in what I'm telling you here. Not long ago I described to someone else here how, after long practice, I could drop a virtual anvil on my head, peel myself off the ground a la Wile E. Coyote, and continue on my way without missing a step. Now I find I don't feel like doing it any more. All that practice wasted! @#$%^!!)
