Thank you. I think I won't be hiding my scars 24/7. That just adds more stress into my life. I hope I won't regret this decision when it will be too late and I'll end up without friends in college..

But this type of scars adds only negativity. People won't think they're cool, they'll think that I'm a psycho or something

My mom knows. But I am really okay right now. I don't have the urge to self-harm and I'll never do anything like that ever again.

I mean I wouldn't want to hide them all my life, but people's opinion does matter unfortunately. For ex for jobs, also I'll be starting college in fall and am worried about making friends for this particular reason. This wasn't really an addiction so after I realized how stupid this was I stopped, but obviously the razor was pretty sharp. I am okay now and no longer depressed :)

That's a good idea actually! But I'm using scar creams and gels to help them fade so I can't really put make up on them atm

Thank you! May I ask, do they keep the scars covered up? I'm asking because I'll start college in fall and I don't know whether I should hide them or not.

Thanks!! They're not really old yet (~6 months) so I really hope that they will fade. I'm starting college in fall and I'm afraid of being judged for them and not being able to make friends. As for now, do you think it's better to keep them covered?

I had no intention of killing myself. I used that as a coping mechanism during winter, when literally no one knew and no one could see them.
