not sure :/ advice :)

[CloudsHaveSilveLlinnings]

So, im not sure where this goes... i have some bruises and cuts and im not sure how to cover them up. i dont want to be asked questions because i dont want to slip back, i dont want to relive what happened, id rather just move on.

i swim as my sport but recently ive been injured so cant swim, so thats one less worry, but im a boarder at my school, and i dont want people there finding out and the people who know about my past to get the wrong ideas...

this is proberly in the wrong place, and people have already asked im sure, but i just dont know what to do. ive been fine for a little while, i may not be completely fine but i just dont want to risk reliving all the stuff im trying to bury. thank you xxxxxx

I'm sorry, I don't really have any advice, as I've never covered my scars except with long sleeves. I guess you could try makeup, but I have no idea what kind or anything... Sorry I'm not much help...

strategic clothing usually works best for swimming. depending on where your cuts are you could wear shorts or get a wetsuit type top. the bruises are probably more easy to explain away so i would only really worry about the cuts. just make sure that if any of the cuts are open, you give them a good rinse and clean after you swim.

Wetsuit, bracelets, clothing, etc.

I hope that you are able to find a safe way to work through your issues. If you can find a way to get through them figuring out how to cover stuff up is no longer an issue. I used to swim and cutting was a major reason I stopped. I wish I had figured out that I had to get through the other stuff sooner. Stay safe and take care.
