Sun, Sand and Scars

[NobodysCupOf Tea]

So this weekend I jet off to Spain with some friends and one girls parents.

Neither of these girls know I cut, but I know that they know that I've been acting weird lately.

Truth be told I was depressed. Rock fucking bottom. And as a result have a fair few scars, not deep, but very visible in places and blatantly not accidental.

Now I duno what to do. Should I sit them down before hand and explain my scars before they see me in a bikini, or just ignore any looks/comments and hope for the best???

I want to bring my blades as well but no where on my body I can conceal cuts easily... Fuck sake I hate summer right now.

I would just go out there in your bikini with you head held high. Let them think what they want to think, and if they ask questions then be truthfull. Try not to worry about it, and try and blank it out if people stare at you.

I wore a bikini for the first time in about 2 years yesterday. The first time since I started cutting. I have quite a few scars on my arm and thighs..

It's not as bad as it seems. I think just go for it :) If you're underwater anyway you probably won't even have them seen. Also getting sun on scars is good for them and helps to fade them :)

I know it seems scary but you can use it as motivation not to cut until then :)

I went to the beach the other day and had some pretty obvious scars, however to my attention no one saw or cared. Go out with confidence and you'll be fine. And if they do notice be honest.
