Sick of LIES.

[MemoriesLost]

I'm really tired of this. I hate having to lie to people every time they see something on my arms or legs. I can think of some excuse so fast that it drives me crazy. I feel like a terrible person now that I can make something up to hide it better than ever. I don't want to hide from my own family and friends, but what else can I do? I get judged. Don't tell me I don't- I do. My mother even TOLD me how she felt. It hurt. I just have so much pent up frustration and I have no way to get it out. The urge to cut hasn't been this strong in awhile. I really don't want to. Any advice? Soon?

Maybe write a letter to your family explaining how you feel and why you do it. People judge because they don't understand it. They think we do it for fun or to get attention. Also you can always try keeping it covered so people don't ask questions.

Though i have no idea what excuses you possibly use, i can't think up any so instead i stay covered all the time to avoid questions. That an a lot of foundation and coverup!

Also, maybe start journaling so then you can get all your frustrations and anger out. Maybe if you are "telling" someone even if its a journal you might feel better
