Anyone out there who could tell me how to hide cuts when wearing a swimsuit/top?
I cut myself mostly just on the shoulder to prevent that people see it because then I can wear at least most T-Shirts without any problem… But now I realized that it is WAY more problematic to hide them if I need to wear a swimsuit or whatsoever. On my wrists I can cover the cuts with bracelets and stuff like this, but how can I hide them on the shoulder? Without being noticeable? My family mustn’t see what I did, so does anyone has an advice for me?

short sleeve swim to. Say it is to prevent sun burn on your shoulders.

Ooh, that’s a nice one!
Please stop cutting. Its no good.
Believe me, I surely tried it but I guess it’s the only way to control my emotions, my self hate and the pain I feel inside… I just can’t stop doing it, but at least I try never to cut that deep.
Nevertheless thank you and best wishes
Hello Hazy Day Sunflower,
Sincere thanks for your advice, I really appreciate that you took the time to even post the link.
I have to say that I never thought about this opportunity before, I always just thought about wrapping some bandages on the cuts or painting over it, which of course would be quite inappropriate for going swimming though.
But your idea in contrast is surely a very good one and I’ll definitely buy one of those swimsuits, so that I can go now at least swimming (if I have to…) without fearing that anyone will see it.
All the best and thank you very much indeed!
Don’t cut in the first place. Seems to work pretty well.
Some people just can’t help it. It’s just like a drug, and it’s an addiction. You get to release all your pain externally, and it’s a coping tool, even if it’s a bad one.

That is like saying to a heroin addict: just put that needle down.
Which is sorta good advice when it comes down to it.
No, I know it’s not that simple. You’ve gotta not be alone. Or so I imagine. It’s an addiction, right? Addiction thrives on loneliness.
@mus…oh well said.
Thanks honey bunny sunflower
Yes got the best advice. Don’t cut yourself in the first place.
Then you won’t have to worry about it.
Get some really good scar cream and start to heal your skin so then you don’t have to cover it up, or worry about having to cover it up.
I know and understand you have this NEED to cut/hurt/punish whatever to yourself so here’s an idea, buy a large doll and pretend its you, even dress it up to look like you and really imagine this is you then when you feel the need to cut do it to this doll instead. Cut it to pieces, do whatever you need to do to release your hurt/anger, but please please save your own skin.
Wanna know why I stopped cutting? I got an itchy rash from hell. I’d say that’d be enough to deter anyone from doing that. Besides, causing more pain might feel like it takes your mind off of it for now, but there are indeed better ways to release those feelings. Like going for hikes, listening to calming music like Blackmill, or other such things. There are easier alternatives. Keep in mind, I’m not judging you, simply offering what little advice I have to offer. Another way I release such feelings or anger is by shooting things >in videogames< to release the stress and get my mind off of whatever is troubling me.
