Cutting on vacation?

[xXl0sth0peXx]

So in a day or so, I'm headed for a [very, very unwanted by me..] vacation with my family.. we're going down south to see other family that we don't see very often, as it's a 10+ hour drive, and we'll be there for almost 2 weeks..

So basically.. my question is how do I keep cutting, and how do I hide it? Chances are I'll be sharing a room with my cousin, who's 2ish years younger than me. I generally cut for 2+ hours at a time, to get all my cuts.. there are probably at least 50-60.. so I have no idea how I'm going to get that many cuts in.. I can't just cut some and not others.. and I can't not cut.. it's so a part of my daily life.. it has to be done..

I'm afraid of how to hide them too.. I do a pretty good job at home, but on vacation.. i fear it'll be different because we're with so many people..
I can't have anyone seeing or finding out about this..

Thank you

well i used to cut too and i see your problem! you could do it in the shower? or you could go outside and say your going on a walk or you need sometime by yourself. you could also try to do half one day and half the other. The best thing would be not to do it but i understand its really hard to work around it!

How about you try and use your vacation as a chance to stop cutting for a while? To get a break from it all? Try not to think about cutting, get involved with what your family's doing etc. :)

Like what The Dudeh said, this would actually be a good chance to try to break away from cutting, you said that you don't get to see this family often? This time can be spent spending time with them, you can always cut later, IMO.

Maybe cut when every body is asleep at night?

Well i know how hard it can be to stop completely but maybe use this as a chance to try to quit slowly, so you could cut half one day, half the other day, then slowly start minimizing the number of times you cut a day. I know that it's unreasonable to ask a cutter to completely stop cutting cold turkey but if you quit gradually then that would be best in my opinion. Also .. as you are gradually slowing down you could cut in the shower on your upper thighs maybe? Or on your hips. Then you shorts, pants, bathing suit or whatever will hide them. :)

if you cut .. your family must already know you as quite a private person ..? So.. in the shower, at night (just say to your cousin your going to the toilet) ... Pretend you have to phone someone? people generally leave you alone then...
Two hours might not be possible on a big familly outing, but try keeping the cuts in places more easily hidden ... and pretend your not feeling great hence why the long sleeves ... lay ins and early nights ...? if you find cutting more awkward with thr time ... you will slowly cut less without realising it... but good luck. x
