Yeah.. I’ve been cutting for.. about four months now. I cut on my ankels and lower calves becuase its easiest to hide there. Just wear pants or tights, etc. I’m very active at school, and it’s very hard for me to hide my cuts. I’m having a very hard time hiding my cuts now that cross country season has started. I can’t run in sweats unless it’s early morning practice (because it is WAY too hot in the afternoon, and at that point its just suspicious.), which doesnt happen as often as I would like it too. So I’ve started wearing really long socks. People have started making comments and sometimes when we have to practice barefoot on the feild I just say I have to keep my shoes on because of my flat feet. I only have two pairs of socks that cover up my cuts… I’m really worried that someone is going to start saying stuff about how I only wear the same two pairs of bizzare striped and patterned socks. But I’m also REALLY worried aobut not being able to go to the beach of any pool parties this summer.. I dont know how to hide them there. I was thinking maybe a giant bandage and saying I accidentally cut myself shaving and only had the gargantuan one to use, so I had to go with it. But that’s probably going to get old after a while.. I dunno.. does anyone have any better advice?

i kinda just started cutting not too long ago (like two weeks) and only two people know about it, but a lot of people have seen the cuts on my arm, and when they asked, i said i fell on broken glass. but now its kinda getting harder to hide cuz if i fell two weeks ago, the cuts wouldnt still be there. i try to wear sleeves a lot, but its gonna be warmer soon and i always get over heated really easily so that wont work. and the cuts are higher up on the inside of my arm, like more near my elbow than my wrist, so i cant use gloves or bracelets or anything. i really have no idea what to do except use make up, but that’ll come off in the summer really easily. the only thing i hate about cutting is trying to come up with excuses for the cuts being there. it seems like the only solution is to stop. but it’s not that i cant stop, i just dont want to. i really need an easy solution. im so confused…....
well today i cut..like 20 times (2 REALLY bad=S) . i havent ut in weeks and i couldnt stop myself…so what do i do now? im trying to get a job and its hard with scars &new cuts!! so whats the best way to hide it?
What I do is I wear those long fingerless gloves, you can still use your fingers easily and they look kinda cool I guess.
And if someone says ‘Are you wearing those to cover your cuts you emo!’ I say ‘Yes, yes I am’ in a very sarcastic voice.
No one knows I do, not even my family.
They just think I have a glovey obsession.
ohkay , i have hidden my cuts for quite sometime , but when it comes to it being really hot outside , and your wearing a sweater because a wrist band doesnt hide 400 cuts , then people get a little on the suspicous side . esoecially if your always depressed , people will check your wrists . and then they know . so now , i would say , maybe just to use cover up or something . and in the winter wear sweaters . but really in the end . people have ways of finding out . and then theres no point in hiding it anymore . if your friends find out and dont accept you , then its because they aent “true” friends . if they were , they would still be there for you and help you . but instead of hiding it i would consider stopping , and maybe counsiling . thats what im going to try ..
I’m a nurse now and we can’t wear long sleeves or any type of jewelery. In fact, we can’t wear anything below our upper-arm.
So EVERYONE sees my cutting, it’s sooo confronting.
i have been wearing long sleeves…but when i don’t…i just don’t lift up my arm or show it…i just kinda play it off like nothing happened. it works for me. but i agree with the girl below me.
