right ive literally just written a post saying how happy i was today being able to finally get my arms out and not worrying too much BUT........
just got a call from my mum and i have to go round theres tomorrow for dinner and sit in garden.... thats fine when its cold but how do i hide scars when its boiling???? the ones on top of arm can be covered by little cardi but got some of underside of lower arm that are very obvious sh scars and a few around my elbow. as soon as i got off the phone i burst into tears cos i need to hide them, cant get into sh-ing with parents, they think i stopped when i was about 16 (im now 24)
i dont want this to put my slight happiness backwards cos i feel finally ive accepted sh and am pushing myself to get happier. im so scared
this pic is so i can always remember jen who was my l'il sock monkey friend who has left ryl and i miss her!!!
Aww hun I'm sorry it upset you so much. I don't have any advice for hiding scars I'm afraid, I wear long sleeves no matter what the weather. Please don't let it push your happiness away. Sorry I can't be more help but I'll send you some *HUG*s xx
i used to wear long sleeves but that would be a true sign to my mum that im sh-ing again to her (never stopped but she thinks i have)
thanks for the hugs i need them, tried phoning my friend but she's out and i dont wanna bug anyone else x

wish I had an answer for you that would help but I don't know - I just thing if you wore a long cardi it would be obvious to them that you were trying to hide something - do you have a light chiffon blouse or something so you could stay cool. Is there anyway that if you didn't cover them but really concentrated on how you held you arms (underside down all the time) you could keep them out of sight? I'm sorry these are really crap answers. There is a section on RYL that talks about hiding the scars maybe that will have some answers.
I'm just going to pray for rain for the day.
Loneliness with or without people, a feeling that comes from inside
Unable to show your true feelings, Unaware of the things that you hide
A life built around a pretending, feeling things that you think you should feel
A life unaware of it’s ending – is there a chance it could ever turn real?

i look on that page, thanks katch, dont own any light blouses but got capped sleeved cardi that gonna wear to hide the upper arm.
yeh cant talk to them about it, they freaked 1st time they found out and sent me straight to a counsellor and anytime my mum went out she'd say dont touch the knives int he kitchen and then occasionally would yank my sleeves up to check i hadnt done anyting-helpful. i thought i wouldnt have to deal with anything once id moved out-arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,
gonna try putting foundation on see if that looks ok for tomorrow
thanks for your posts guys x

i survived, wasnt nice tho. did a lot of penguin movements so would "flash" as little as possible. however at dinner mum pointed out 2 scars, thankfully didnt ask how i got them but i just said you know i dont heal well, its no big deal and went BRIGHT red! then made sure she didnt see any other ones. at least when i see them again i know i dont have to hide the 2 she's already seen.
my wrist REALLY hurts tho, got nasty burn there but couldnt wear a dressing cos they would have seen it, i wore a watch over it but its just been rubbing it horribly........ but im home now and all safe and dont have to hide anything. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
how did the bbq go jo??
