I have told some friends in the past. I just brought it up in conversation like it wasn't anything unusual and because they were friends I am very close to it was just left at that. I know I can now bring it up again if I need to and they will look out for me but not talk if I don't want to. I think it was a conversation about how we dealt with stress. It actually sparked some confessions from my other friends as well about 'negative' coping methods.
Otherwise, I've found it's easier to tell people in an email/on msn/over the telephone rather than in real life because I tend to be scared of seeing their reactions.
I know you how you feel about well why not if nobody will see anyway. I do that too. But then I think well this is about me and me getting over this for myself to feel healthier and happier and more in control of my life. Even if nobody else sees my scars, I woud. And although sometimes I give in anyway, sometimes that helps. Take care xx
