i have decided...

[Merc]

...to no longer cover my numerousrous horrends scars on my arm..once off with the sling no more wide bracelet...altho i still love ya to bits for the idfea of one my loverlry friend ;o)
AND i wiil l be honest of where they vcame from too...
NO MORE HIDING

if i can make one petrson aware,feel safer, feel not so alone it will be worth it...i may approach my daughters school to see if i can do a info presentation on it, SI and/or mental illness and how you CAN escape it...
i feel its enough lying hiding
to be 'truly' well in my eyes i must first admit the 'illness'
what do you think?
any cautions, important info you fell i should include? i feel like giving out secret ballots on which they have to write SOMETHING [ie: no i dont harm/yes u do harm..just scheck for either so pple are un aware...
so no one is is obvious in taking the step to help...let me know..and asticker part they MUST tear off with my ctc info on infoe on it...again thery casnt turn it in witth that info attached...so they can still be hidden if they choose

i will gladly take opinions, stories,comments from the rest of you..the onezs 'in the trenches'

wow, that sounds like a wonderful idea! you should be very proud for having to guts to take a stand. i suppose i don't really have any advice at the moment, just dump truck loads of encouragement *dump*

i'll definately let you know if i think of anything!

Fab idea Romp!

I only cover my arms in the winter or when it's cold. Or when I have fresh wounds. Other than that, I wear 'em loud and proud. They are my scars, they have everything to do with me, and I actually like them (weird huh?). And if people ask where they come from, I tell them the truth. Why should I hide? Why should WE hide??

Great idea Romp!

Take care
