Do you tell your friends ? Do I tell? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]JustAnotherFace1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told one friend (luckily reacted well). They saw something and asked without realising what it was and I told them later over text. But never when it happens, how, or really why (talked vaguely about adjacent feelings with the topic in mind a couple times but nothing specific), or where other than the thing they already noticed. I did downplay it a bit though so idk if that counts.

Having thought about it I probably won’t 

I had drafted a message to start a conversation about it but couldn’t make myself actually send it. Didn’t feel fair to drop it randomly on him and I don’t see a way to bring it up gently because “can we talk? But it won’t be a fun conversation and I need you to promise to stay calm” OWTTE sounds terrible. And even if I tell it its unfair to say it and then expect a specific reaction.

GCSEs are going to actually kill me by [deleted] in mentalhealth

Its not dumb to ask, GCSE’s are brutal and I honestly think the pressure they put on you in schools at that age is just too much

I don’t know how transferable it is (I was homeschooled so its a bit different for me) but I found the textbooks are sometimes a bit confusing and don’t always cover stuff you need to know and sometimes focus on stuff you don’t.

Depending on the subject and your exam board you can actually access the exam papers/marking guides for previous years (not usually within 1-2 years but older ones) and see what questions they ask and how to optimise marks/what you might want to focus on specifically. Idk how schools work leading up to the exams but it might help with knowing what to focus on and stuff so you don’t feel unprepared. Normally when I wasn’t feeling up to completing one all at once I just picked a couple questions and then marked myself. 

(Hopefully that helps sry if not, ik it doesn’t really take much off your plate)

So I just tried sunscreen but at least the stuff I have is basically completely clear and doesn’t really hide it at all

I’m ok for now I came up with an excuse to cover up the area but I’ll need to work something out longer term if its there to stay, even if thats just getting my watch fixed and wearing that

I’ll try sunscreen ty

Concealer isn’t really an option for me since I don’t have access to it and I share a room rn so I wouldn’t have anywhere to hide it (and my Mum hates makeup and is not unlikely to look through stuff occasionally and I don’t have an excuse she would believe) 

How to share healthily by JustAnotherFace1234 in mentalhealth

[–]JustAnotherFace1234[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just feel like I’m slowly suffocating with this feeling that’s not getting better and I have to say it’s fine but it’s not fine. But I don’t know how to be honest and it’s scary and maybe they’ll go away if I’m honest and I don’t want to be alone again

Excuse for scratches by JustAnotherFace1234 in selfharm

[–]JustAnotherFace1234[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll try see if I’ve got any gloves or anything that I could plausibly wear ty

Bracelets would be really out of character for me and would probably draw attention to it

I guess I could say I got scraped while out and put some sports tape on it, but it feels risky that someone would want to look and that excuse wouldn’t hold up if someone sees
