scars.

I attempted suicide 2 months ago by slitting my wrist in multiple places, now I have these really bad thick red scars. I hate them. I feel so self conscious about them. I don't wear short sleeves around my house or out in public. I'm scared people are going to judge me because of them. How do I begin to accept what I did to myself? How do I become less self conscious? If you have bad scars how do you explain it to people that ask?

(((hugs)))

This is something I am struggling with right now, I don't have any advice for you but I want you to know that I hear you and understand, I even cut the word "HATE" and I feel so self conscious about it, Please know that you're not alone

I attempted suicide in February, partially by cutting my wrists. I had a LOT of scars from it. I still have them, they are less noticeable now.
So, they will likely fade some. I had a hard time with the scars showing too, so not a lot of advice, just know you're not alone.

I have really obvious scars too, but on my legs. (the only good thing about eczema is it mostly hides the scars on my arms) I used to hide them and always wear pants. But my youth pastor actually talked about cutting one night at church, and he said that cutting didn't make a person any less than anyone else, no one was perfect... and after that I wasn't so ashamed of my scars. I even wear skirts. (the first couple times I was self-conscious but now I don't even think about it) if people ask, and they rarely do, I just joke about the scars. "have you even tried to put on leggings?" (to a boy) or something stupid like that.
You don't need to be ashamed
