Hey guys I've posted on this a few times about cutting but this is kind of different

I cut pretty regularly and have pretty down days which I'm sure you get but I turned 18 a few weeks ago and now my Dad wants me to give blood, it's something he cares strongly about so I don't know how I'm going to get out of this one because I have cuts going up both arms almost at the elbow

PLEASE give me any advice you have to offer, I'm really freaking out. Blood donations tomorrow

I have school exams which can be used as an excuse but I don't know how to put that into words. Thanks

Say you're feeling under the weather and don't want to give others your possible sickness, or tell him you don't want to give blood tomorrow, but are interested in future times.
Or tell him you don't want to miss out on the exam and it's really important and if you miss it you won't be ready for it later.

You do know you are 18 right? You don't have to do anything. They can't take blood from an unwilling donor anyways.
But really, just say you have exams and you will next time or something, you don't need a big extravagant excuse.

just tell them you dont feel up to giving blood
your 18 and legally an adult so you cant be forced to do something you dont want.

Thanks guys. Just a little hard to think clearly. He's one of my triggers so I don't want trouble but yeah an easy excuse is the best way to go :)

Stop hiding it, and get help. Hiding and suppressing the issue won't make it go away. The only real way to fix scar tissue caused by self harm is plastic surgery, where grafts are taken from your thigh or other viable donor source and transplanted to the affected areas, but that's expensive... So yeah, get help, see a shrink, a school counselor or speak to a trusted friend about why your harming yourself and try to sort the problem out!
