The stigma about self-harm and depression is terrible. When people see scars they judge, and as you said, it makes people afraid to show it, so they have to hide it, the people who truly need support and openness are forced to keep it all in.
People need to get over their own beliefs and opinions, and realize that life isn’t perfect for everyone, we need to be more supportive and accepting of people with depression and people who self harm.
Sometimes I feel like people will never understand until they experience it.
I never cut myself and never will, I think the idea is terrible, but I do occasionally hit my self with a set of pliers or w/e is around. I’ve even done it with my cell phone straight into my forehead. It’s easier to hide bruises than cuts and scars, so no one really bothers to ask and if they do I just make random excuses.
Back in the days I would think of anyone who cut themselves as an emo who wants attention, but now I know better. I know how deep a whole can be and how despair will make us do things we know will not benefit us.
If ever I saw someone with scars are fresh cut wounds I would be sure to ask them if they are OK. Some people don’t admit, but sometimes attention and care is really what we are looking for. A friend who will listen and be by your side, and that’s what I would do.
Sometimes I wish I could find someone I could help. Life feels so empty with false friendship. If only I could find a true friend…

I enjoy cutting, it brings comfort to me.
Please don’t hit yourself in the head. That could cause a concussion or brain damage if done hard enough.
