Did you ever self harm and how do you cope with the scars?

    I also self harm, though i havn't for a couple of months so i'm proud of myself :)

    I really don't like the emo stigma that people associate with those that do self harm, it's sad.

    But anyway, the worst ones are on my legs and being aneemic (having low iron so it takes me ages to heal)

    If you are worried about how they look and those awkward questions, i would get some BIO OIl. It does wonders!

      I have Bio Oil but it's not really doing anything. I've had this scar for about two months now. I just can't remember how long it takes for the scars to turn white from pink.

        you have to be consistent with it

        also, vitamin e cream is supposed to be helpful too? if you type in home remedies to get rid of scars into google, you'll find alot too, some of them ar e really easy to get your hands on

        it will eventually go away, i use my scars as motiation not to do it again, hopefully you will stoop or have stopped
        hugs

          Thanks. :) I think I'll try the vit E cream. I have stopped, I hadn't done it for 9 years anyway. It was a one off, but probably the worst one. I'm sure it'll fade over time, it's just as I haven't done it for so long, it seems terrifying that some-one might see it now. I can't exactly remember how I used to feel. Hm. I'm glad you have stopped :) well done xx
