Hey.
I sometiems cut us when emotion/anxiety/depression gets overwhelming or if everyone inside is upset and way upset. It at least seems to make everyone quieter for a while.

the ting is our mom has been occasionally asking what happened ( when seeing some of the scars on my arm. and sometimes other people ask too. =/ we usually just say we bumped into stuff and then start talking about some bruises and stuff we have that we dont know where they came from ( we bruise waay easy.)

i know there probably isnt an answer to my question i just wish we knew how to answer better.. you know something that ppl wont doubt but maybe they will quit asking.

i have quit cutting in visible areas on my arms now i just do my shoulder areas so clothes cover it.
but i havent SH'd in a few weeks but times are about get really hard and well i cant make any promises.
SADIE

Do you have someone who you can be honest with about your SH? A therapist? Do you have any safe coping skills?

I feel awkward about my scars - I do keep them covered as much as I can, it is something I have to consider every day when I am getting dressed. Sometimes people notice, I usually say I caught it on something and change the subject.

Yes it is only my T who knows the trugth about the SI, I think it is hard for others to understand and I think some people think it means that the person is dangerous or suicidal - which is of course not true.

I am so sorry to hear that you had such a bad experience with your T - were you able to share with her how she made you all feel? Maybe there is another T you can try?
