I can't wear a bathing suit without people seeing my scars now. I just have to accept that they might judge me. So while I've gotten through it, it would've been better not to start in the first place. It makes you feel so alone in the end as there's so many people who don't get SI. Is there anyone you could talk to in real life about it?
First off I really respect you, how you can cope with far worse problems than I have. Thanks.
And no, theres nobody I can talk to about it. (as cliche as it sounds) I dont have any friends, i'm not going to talk to my mother about it either. I know that it will get harder and harder to stop, I appriciate that. But it's just so hard to deal with getting happy/sad happy/sad ALL THE TIME.
I seriously dont know what I can do about it.
