Hello, I'm new
Hello, I'm new to this app. I just downloaded it to try something new, I feel like I don't have anyone to turn to, I find it hard to open up but on here since I don't know anyone it could be easier.
I haven't self harmed for about 2 years, I've came very close lately but managed to stop myself. Mostly because I don't want anymore scars. Both my arms are completely covered, I have to wear long sleeves constantly. I also have a few scars on my thigh and my hips. The only people who know about my scars are exes and my current boyfriend, obviously it's impossible to hide it from them. But my parents don't know so it's a constant worry to keep them covered. I hate the summer because I always get questions like "why don't you put a t shirt on?" Etc.
Welcome to the site! I hope that you are able to find what you’re looking for here and that you’ll only be met with support and understanding.
Thank you for sharing a bit about your struggle with self-harm and concealing your scars, something which probably most who battle self-harm will go through. It really does have to be difficult and uncomfortable for you to have to consciously hide your scars from your loved ones and to not always be able to wear the clothes (like short sleeves) which you’d like to.
It’s very brave of you to open up!
Always feel free to reach out and welcome again to 7Cups!
