This is going to sound so weird but I was about to cut not long ago when I saw my arm… now I’ve seen my arm before obviously, but I don’t know… it’s as if I’ve only ever looked and never *seen*

I knew it was covered in scars… I mean I have been cutting for 10 years and burning for 8, not to mention the marks my fathers “punishments” have left… but I don’t think I’ve ever really noticed just how bad my arm is… seriously there is so little normal skin… it’s just a mass of scars and needle marks (drug use I’m sorry to say…). The other arm is just as bad… in fact I don’t have much not scared skin anywhere…

Even if I do manage my current bid to stop I am going to be scared forever… why the hell did I not notice this sooner??? How could I just not have seen…

Hello I hope things are going better for you at this time. I hope that you are not going to beat yourself up too much for what happened. This is something you want to talk to your therapist about, there is surgery that you may be able to have in order to reduce the scarring. I hope things get better for you soon. I am going to leave you the hotline number to call if you need to call and talk to someone in person. 1-800-273-TALK. Take care Sincerely Soidhonia

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
