How can you cover up cut marks?!


Question: How can you cover up cut marks!?
I just cut my wrists and realized now how stupid that was!. I'm afraid to even come out of my room in fear that someone will see and think i need serious mental help!.

This is the first and last time I'll ever do something like this!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I am sorry that you hurt yourself!.
Please talk to your family if you continue to feel like hurting yourself!. Wear long sleeves while your wrists are healing!.
Wear your watch or a bracelet to cover your wrists!.
You can buy BAND-AIDS that are large and square at a pharmacy!. They are the same color as your skin!. If you wore these, you could say you have a rash that the doctor wants you to cover up so it will not spread!. I am sorry to say I wore these on my wrist!. I hope you will heal up quickly!. Please don't hurt yourself again!. Best Wishes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Maybe they need to see, because self injury can have a terrible siren's song!. If you are determined to hide it then wear long sleeves, when you reach for things keep your wrists downward!. If they are shallow cuts they should heal in a few days with redness lasting a couple of weeks, try using neosporin to speed the healing!. If it's deeper cuts then it's going to be a lot harder, since they take a longer time to close!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I cover up my wrists with gloves, wrist bands (not the plastic and thin ones!.!.!. the fabric kind) and wear long shirts often!. Though since I don't only cut my wrists, I always wear long pants (or leg warmers if it's too hot)!. When I go swimming or I can't wear anything to cover up my cuts, I usually say that one of my pets scratched me, my friends (we fight a lot), or that a tree branch scratched me!. I also try to keep my wrists out of site from other people and in case they get curious about my mood, I always put on a fake smile for my friends!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Buhh!.!. Whats up!. I'm a Psych councilor at a local ER and i see this behavior a lot!. Some people do it because the physical pain take away from the mental pain you feel!. Or it's a really strong way to get attention from parents or a girl/guy you know at school in hopes they will feel bad for you and come back!.
These are reasons why people may cut!.!. not reasons TO cut!.
It's unfortunate b/c someone will probably see your cuts eventually!.!.it's summer, it's hard to avoid!. Just have a good answer ready!.!. P!.S Saying your friends cat scratched you will go over like a fart in church!.!.!. Thats the oldest excuse in the book!.
Get your head on straight and figure out WHY you cut and then find out a way to avoid feeling like that again!. If you do find yourself getting back into that feeling, maybe you may need some meds or just a friend to talk to!.!. Either way, good luck!. i hope i've helped!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
