How do I hide cuts?
I am so so sorry to write this so bluntly, but you can not really hide it for very long. Some people here have already told you to cut in less obvious places and to a degree ( although I got angry with them) , they are right. As someone having your affliction, illness, addiction since a very long time I KNOW : You only cut in obvious places if you are longing for help. I disagree completely with those who say you do this for a kick or “ hormones” , I know that you don't. The fact that you cut in places that could be visible to others means that you are ready for a dialogue about your inner horror. Otherwise you would cut in places no one could see. So , while I know you might be telling yourself you do not want to reveal your pain, please notice that you are cutting in places that others might actually see. That is a first small step. Please stay in touch.I am here if you need me further. Stina
How do I hide cuts on my wrist?
what i do : if your a girl you can use cover up of foundation or you could always put bulky bracelets on or pretend you sprained your wrist (but of course that wont work in the long run), or you could put liquid skin on it and then cover up with makeup. The obvious thing to do is wear sweaters and long sleeves but what happens when you cant? in the summer i sometimes wear a tank top and a bathing suit cover( so a extremely light and thin shirt.) I once hit a vein and was super worried because i didn't want anyone to know. I had figured everyone would have noticed if i was profusely bleeding in class so i first applied pressure by putting a bandage around it ( it took a while for the bleeding to even slow down) then i soaked it in water and ipibrofic alcohol. if you actually want it to heal i would put anti-bacterial on it but i just wanted it to stop bleeding so then i put liquid skin over it covered it up and then it healed. Now the fact that i hit a vein was totally by accident. Yes i am cutting but i dont want anyone to know. Honestly they probably wouldnt care anyway. But i still dont want anyone to try to ¨help”. Guess what! i dont need help i need peace and music and someone who gives me a reason to stay alive. I hope this was helpful! ( probably not) Oh well, good luck hiding you sadness and anger and the thought that your literally trash. (i dont think your trash)
How do I hide my cuts from my parents?
You can only hide for so long, they will eventually find out. I went through the same thing and my mum found them every single time! Cutting yourself is usually a cry for help so go and tell your parents, they only want you to be ok and happy so they will help you get the help you need. You maybe depressed or have another underlying mental health problem that needs addressing. I know parents can be scary but in the end they are you parents and love you so tell them and they will try to understand so they can help you :) Good luck! x
How to hide self harm cuts in P.E?
Dont worry Im not going to give you lectures and shizz like that cuz I have exactly the same problem and Im fed up of getting lectures as well -.- Basically, I tried to wear a long sleeved top under my PE top but I got told I wasnt allowed to wear it so I had to go that lesson with nothing to cover the scars on my arms and one of my friends noticed which I didnt really want but she cuts too so its not so bad, she didnt judge me or anything, still I wouldnt reccomend not covering them though unless you can deal with questions (like if you have excuses for the cuts), I spent the whole lesson trying to cross my arms, was really difficult trying to hide :L Luckily at my school we dont have to wear shorts, so I dont have the problem of trying to hide cuts on my legs, which is where most of my cuts are. Basically, i'd wear a bandage or something to try and cover the cuts or wear loads of bracelets on your arm I do that and it sometimes covers it, also maybe using makeup to cover it, ive done that but I wouldnt reccomend it on its own because I found the cuts still show quite a bit so if you do do that, maybe wear bracelets too? Thats all I can suggest really, good luck :) Also, can people stop saying stop cutting, thats not gonna help -.-
How can I hide my cuts while swimming?
I know how hard it is...my best friend of 27 years is a cutter, and she's having trouble stopping, too. Unfortunately, there's really not much you can do as far as "healing" the scars before the party. Using a scar product like Mederma can take weeks, if not months, to show any results. My suggestion to you is to get some waterproof concealer that matches the skin tone of your knee. The best stuff out there is Dermablend, and they make a specific Leg & Body Cover. You can find it here: http://www.dermablend.com/foundations/fo... It's not cheap, mind you...but in your case, I think it will be worth it. The only other possibility would be to wear a long sarong, but you'll have to take it off to get in the water...so I'd go with the Dermablend. Best of luck, and have fun at your party!
How can I hide fresh cuts on my wrist?
I can answer this from personal expirience. Firstly, don’t. Don’t cut don’t hurt yourself. I’m still struggling with it and have up periods and down periods. Sometimes I have the blitz to control my urge and I can tell myself it’s not good for me. Other times I get so sad and so out of it that the impulse to cut cannot be helped. And I understand both sides but I urge you, please if you are cutting, actively try to stop. Make the change in your life that you need to because you do NOT deserve to feel the pain that you’re feeling.Now that that PSA is done, do not put makeup over it. Use a long sleeve shirt or band aids. If you have a pet, it’s easy to blame them even if the cuts seem fairly obvious. If they’re scabbed I used to put makeup on them but I would never recommend it and again I NEVER would recommend cutting. If you feel depressed and suicidal each out to a trusted family member or friend or call a hotline- available 24/7. You do not deserve to feel pain, but if truly and absolutely necessary see the above to cover it up.
How do i hide my cuts from my parents?
i stopped cutting for two years(12) and then started again(14-15). When i first started cutting it was because my mom would get onto me for everything wrong in her life and mine. My grades were terrible because she convinced me i was a fialure. My stepdad beat me and really only used me to marry my mom. My dad wanted nothing to do with me. I was called ugly, fat, worthless, sluty and stupid in elementary and middle school and the friends i did have all put their drama on me becuase i was known for helping and being loving. My boyfriend treated me like **** and all the others tried to use me for sex. I was stressed, depressed, and angry. I cut myself then because my mom raised me with these words - "Crying is showing people how weak you are. Why are you crying, you brought it on yourself. Your so pathetic for crying over something so stupid". My friend helped me and i told my mom then she beatme for being stupid and a disgrace as her daughter. Supressed feelings much? i feel compelled.
How to hide cuts on my wrist from the doctor?
Hey, there. ^_^ Yeah, just wanted to let ya know that no, thay shouldn't ask to see ur wrists. What I used to do was just wear a long sleeved shirt and a watch. I know that you, as a guy, probably won't have any makeup handy, but your mom should.Put some foundation (the colour of he skin on ur wrists) on the area to cover it up. All the best of luck in quitting. It'll be hard and you will forever have to live with the personal embarrassment... but hopefully you will be able to quit on ur own instead of ur mom finding out like mine did.
How do I hide self harm cuts on my hand?
I’m sorry you’ve been going through this stuff. I know life’s really, really hard sometimes. But trust me. This isn’t the way to go.To cover up those scars, there are a few things you can do. I suggest a combination of these:Get some makeup. This will help drastically. Whether you get it from a friend who you trust, or from your own house, learn to apply it, and apply it well. If you can get your hands on makeup meant to cover up tattoos, you’ll be pretty much set other than perhaps the bumps.Blame it on an allergy. This really will only work if you can bank it on say, touching a stray piece of seaweed, and in addition to the makeup. Those are obviously scars otherwise.If they haven’t seen already, maybe go on a bike ride/hike sometime. Come back and show them the scars, or make it fairly obvious.It’s been suggested already, but gloves.Oversized jackets that have sleeves too long - They’re really cute and serve well!Now here’s a few things you can do to stop cutting, because that’s incredibly important.Ice cubes. Hold one until it melts, switching hands every couple of minutes. This will burn enough.Rubber bands.Drawing on yourself when you get the urge, wherever you were planning to cut.Hide all razors/knives from yourself, or better yet, throw them away.Finding an outlet. This is absolutely the best idea. Whether it’s singing, working out, or drawing, an outlet you enjoy will change everything.Now here’s the deal. I gave you these options because I understand that perhaps your life would only get harder if those were seen, perhaps you don’t come from the best household, perhaps you can’t get help. But there are school psychologists. If you can, get a therapist - Ask your doctor for a recommendation if you need a way to bring it up to your parents lightly. And please, tell your parents if it’s safe to do so. Getting help will change your path, I promise. You don’t even have to mention the scars, just mention you’ve been having a lot of trouble, talk it out, get some help. Do show your therapist, though. They’re under certain restrictions, and you can ask them what they can/can’t tell your parents.Best of luck and lots of love <3
