So I’m addicted to cutting, and I have around 25 cuts on my left arm.
The problem is that I have P.E. monday, and we have to wear T-shirts.
That means that my cuts will be visible.
I don’t want anyone to see my cuts..
What should I do? What can I do? How can I hide my cuts? What excuse can I use?
Someone please help me..

Arm warmers? Or fake being sick that day. How big are they? Anything you can cover up with a big bandage say you Burt your arm? That’s about all I got. Good luck 🙂
Not that large, but they aren’t small either.
There is still dried blood on the wounds, so they’re still noticeable.
They’re not deep, so maybe I can say that I just fell on the ground while riding my bike?
Are they still open wounds or have they scabbed? If they’re small scabs you can try using concealer and putting setting powder on. Makeup is handy like that
I’m a guy, so I don’t have make up.
Some are scabbed, But most of them are still open.
Get help for your cutting before it is forced on you. Nothing stays hidden forever. You might as well try to control the situation by choosing which person you tell.
Don’t be ashamed. The brain fuckedupness you are experiencing is not your fault. You have a medical condition just like that weird red headed kid with the crusty skin.
Accept help when offered. Accept that this is the way you are right now and it’s all part of being human.
Thank you for taking your time to read this and post a comment!
But I don’t plan on getting help.
I already told a friend about my cutting thing, but he told someone else about my cuts.
The person he told was a friend of mine, but he could have told anyone.
So I am not gonna tell others about this.

I hear you and I understand. Peace be with you.
Thank you! 🙂
I know that I should get help, but I don’t want others to know about my cuts
Just say that use got attacked by a dog and you had to block yourself from the dog.
That’s not a bad excuse, but I think that I’ll just say that a cat scratched me.
I have a cat, so that’ll make it more believable.
Thank you for helping me!

Makeup/concealer, being a guy doesn’t stop you from heading to the drug store and getting something. Or you can look for products actually advertised for covering scars and you won’t get any funny looks.
Or wear a long sleeve under your shirt. These days your teacher would be fired and on the evening news if they made some big fuss about telling a student to take an undershirt off.
And then stop cutting in obvious places, or better yet stop cutting. Go do sprints and pushups until your heart wants to burst next time you want pain.
I didn’t know that shops sold things to cover up scars. Lol
I don’t know about the long sleeved shirt thing.
They won’t allow it, and I haven’t heard about any teachers getting fired or being on the news for somethinh like that.
They ask you to go change it in the locker room, so they aren’t really doing anything wrong.
It’s not that easy for me to stop cutting.
It feels like I’m addicted to cutting, and getting rid of addiction isn’t easy.
Thank you for the helping me!

wear a long sleeve shirt under a t-shirt and say you are cold
If that doesn’t work say you have a burn and you don’t want peoples attention
Mhhh, I don’t know if these will work.
Maybe the burn idea will work, but I’ll have to wear that bandage for a while if I do that.
Otherwise it would be obvious that I was hiding something.
Thank you for helping though!

Your cat, or the cat you’re watching for your neighbors scratched the shit out of you. You found a raccoon in your trash can and pulled it out and it scratched you. The bottom line here is that any excuse will work the last thing anyone will be wondering is if it’s self inflicted. So just be confident and simple. I was playing with a cat and she went at me.
I do have a cat, so this might actually work.
There are no raccoons here, so it would be weird to use that as an excuse. Lol
Thank you for helping me!

My story is that I got attacked with a knife when I got mugged.
The irony is that I really did get mugged; they just didn’t use a knife.
@Einsamkeit
I rarely go outside, so I don’t know if they’ll believe me if I tell them that I got mugged. Lol
I have the same problem. I also have cuts on my arms/legs, and a lot of them too. People actually don’t notice. Like I just started wearing short sleeves and NO ONE noticed! Its amazing and pretty cool. If anyone asks just say you disturbed a cat who was on catnip.
I don’t think that many people will notice my cuts, because they don’t really care about me.
But I’m scared that the PE teacher will notice them.
And yeah, saying that a cat scratched me seems to be the most believable excuses.
Thank you for helping me!

Get some bandages wrapped around it and just say you injured yourself and only had bandages laying around.
Oh and if they ask what kind of injury, just say that it is irrelevant and that you can participate (If you really can).
Seems like an excuse that they would believe, but what if they ask to show them or if they keep bugging me about it?
Thank you for helping me!

Well, they have no right to take it off right? What ever is underneath needs that bandage to heal. Just say it’s nothing to be concerned about. Or maybe come out with something a little clever like you tripped and use the arm as support on landing (Faking it with Dead Flowers 101 lol).
Just refuse to participate, refuse to change, refuse to do anything in gym class tomorrow. That is your only choice. I used to do this all the time, and there is absolutely nothing that the teachers can do about it, except fail you that day. Big deal. It shouldn’t effect your overall grade too much. Either that, or get discovered and deal with the bullshit that follows…
*not tomorrow, monday. To be honest, I don’t even know what day it is. I don’t think it’s Sunday though…*
It’s not their only choice. There are always other ways to go about things. Also what if Kur0-Nek0 wants to participate?
Do you honestly believe anyone is going to believe the lame “a cat scratched me” excuse? 25 cuts doesn’t look like a cat scratch, it looks like exactly what it is, self harm. And it boils down to what he/she wants more, to participate, or to get caught and forced to get “help” for cutting, have everyone including their parents find out etc; etc; etc;
It just seems like a pain to me, not participating for one day doesn’t seem like such a bad idea in the face of getting caught and everything that goes along with it.
Can you fake feeling ill and sit out for the one time, or ask to go to the nurse with a stomach ache or headache… I’ve done that before to get out of a class. You should get help though because the truth always has a way of coming out…. someone will notice and say something eventually.
