ok i know this may be stupid but i work for a large supermarket and at this time of year its easier to hide my cuts but its not impossible to get caught work is stressful enough as it is with customers and staff and stuff without being caught and having to explain all these marks on my arm which i know is cuts and they could proberbly guess and if i get caught i dont know wat to say do i come and say i run a blade down my arms to make myself feel better or do i do like i did in my last job and say an animal or fence did which they didnt believe but hey it was worth a go but i dunno i cant stop cutting andf i dont want to but i also dont want to explain it to someone who doesnt give a monkeys bout me or doesnt even know wat im going through anyway i'll stop going on
Do your best to hide your cuts. As nosy as people are, the cuts are not anyone's business. Is it possible for you to say politely and firmly that you just don't care to discuss it with them?
Sometimes extreme humor or gallows humor helps too. You were juggling cats (roses, barb wire, chain saws) and need to practice more.
Good luck.

In forgiving others, we are not exonerating them. They may not deserve exoneration. Rather, in forgiving others we are giving up our anger over the fact that what happened is not what "should" have happened or that our life is not the way it "should" have been.
Yes I agree with what blondiebear said. If anyone does notice your cuts and asks about them, politely let them know that it is not their business. Hopefully they will take the hint. After all, your cutting is not affecting the quality of your work so I don't see why anyone should make a big deal out of it. Good luck!

Go cross-eyed and smile at them sweetly and then tell them they are the scars from fighting the last nosey ****er who dared to ask me what was wrong with my arm!!!
I find tubigrip the king of scar coverage!!! You can just tell people you pulled a muscle in your arm! You dont even know you are wearing it after a few minutes!
Try not to stress bout it too much.
take care
