Open Question
:( how i explain these scars?
im sorry this is such a long question, but i really need help. :/ive been pretty stupid in the past. ive had problems with self-harm. ive cut, stabbed my veins inches deep just to see blood, burned, ripped off skin with my fingernails, its not good. im not hurting myself anymore, but i have lots of scars. from the cutting- slit marks on my wrists. from the stabbing- you can barely see my veins theyre so scarred over and there are lots of needle marks. from the fingernails- little groups of scars from where chunks of skin were ripped out. and worst of all, from the burning- huge pink splotches on my arms (these are the most noticable.) im starting a new school soon and im really worried about my first impression. i can hide the scars with clothes and bracelts for a little while, but its inevitable, someone is eventually gonna see a scar and ask what it is. and i never know what to say. what am i supposed to say? how do i explain my scars without being judged??? and ive tried to come up with lies to cover them up, and honestly, there is nothing i could say. so what do i do when people ask? what do i say?

I do not know what is bothering you, but you can't carry your burdens and problems with you 24/7. Try to appreciate all you have, and I am talking about simple things, like your eyesight, your capacity to feel love, happiness, to enjoy the things you like. You must be positive about yourself and about your decisions. Today will be gone in a few hours and will never come back. Life is short and unrepeatable. Enjoy today, forget your troubles and be kind to the world and to yourself too. Get some friends and go out. Good luck to you!

I understand the closeness you felt with your dorm "family." But like a real family you can still be close with them even if you don't live under the same roof. All the best? Call them.
