HELP ME! Need an excuse for cut on stomach!!! FAST

[snailsperson]

Ok, I'm working on stopping cutting, so don't lecture me about how bad it is. I already know.

But I have this one on my stomach, to the right of my belly button and a little bit down. It's about as wide as the edge of a coin, and 3/4 as tall as a dime.

And I have to go to the beach today with my mom, so I NEED an excuse about how it happen. (ie, i ran into a counter or something like that)

Can't you wear a one-piece swimsuit and put a plaster/bandage over the wound?

[snailsperson]

I dont have a one peice

and i dont know what a plaster is >.<

A plaster is a band-aid

[AutumnDae]

You said above...You ran into a counter in your house. If she even notices that is. Don't point it out. But if she notices it and says "What happened to you?" Just say "Oh, you know that counter in the kitchen? With the sharp edge? I was walking by it the other and cut the corner to close." or something like that.

"Mom, that cut is there b/c I put it there. When I feel really bad, I cut myself. I'm not sure exactly why I need to do this, but it hurts alot, and I know ti's wrong. Please help me, please take me to someone who can help me better understand why I need to do this and help me stop".

This is an opportunity for you to address this self destructive behavior, not cover it up. It needs to end sometime, and this is as good a time as any.

Sam is totally right, if you get help now it will help you to stop, and therefore this wont happen again.

You have a good opportunity to tell her that you are self harming. Work with it, so she can help you get help. It'll be tough, but it will help you in the long run.

you could go with the counter excuse
I do recommend telling her, but I know it's hard, I once started cutting myself, even though I found it hard to stop, I found other thing in life that made me stop, things that made me happy (family, boyfriend, friends, nature, funny picture, etc.) and I found no reason to do, I wish you good luck!
now..back to your request,
- counter
- you could say you were taking a shower and while you were shaving you dropped the razor and it cut your stomach
- you could put a band aid on it
- you could say you were chopping some fruit (snack, anything like that) you put the knife and the counter and when you reached to get something the knife (or the counter) scraped your stomach
- you pretend nothing was there and when she asks you what that cut is you act surprised that it was there and say you don't know
- you could cover it up until you get to the beach, then run into the water and when you come out you could pretend to examine your stomach and say to her that something sharp was in the water and it cut you
hope that helps!

if you have a cat say the cat attacked me ! or the dog ran towards me and it hit me with its nails and it scraced me

[gorgeousgrief]

If you live anywhere near fields, you could say you took a short cut through a field or went for a walk with a friend and there were some bushes at a gate you had to climb to get in to/out of the field. Your top was lifted up a bit and you got cut. It's happened to me a lot on my ankles by mistake when walking the dogs.

yerr everyones advice is reli good.. any of them wud work. but i recomend goin with sams idea.. this wud be a gr8 time to tell ur mum whats going on in ur life! x

[Jman35]

First of all, I don't 100% agree with the excuse, but maybe you happened to be :

a.) Hopping a fence

b.) ran into the counter

c.) a pencil in your pocket torn your skin and you picked at it.

This is an opportunity for you to address this self destructive behavior, not cover it up. It needs to end sometime, and this is as good a time as any. The best suggestion yet. Also.. that's such a small cut i dun think she will notice.

[dstnyisurs]

Don't mention it. If you try to explain it then she'll get suspicious. If she asks you about it, act suprised and say you don't know how you got it. Other excuses are; a ragged nail, exacto knife slip at school, chopping veggies, shaving mistake, a dog jumped on you, you fell out of bed, you scraped yourself on the railings at school, so on so forth.

[DecemberRain]

Depending on where it is you might be abole to hide it with like you arm maybe. If she does notice say that you got cought on something in the hallway when it was really crouded at school. When you get to the beach if you have your towel you can hold it so that it covers where the cut is. And then when you dont have the towel try and keep your arm or maybe like a beach bag infront of the spot. and if you go to lay on a towel lay on your stomach not your back. let us know how it goes. pm me if you ever want to talk.

if you cant find an excuse maybe its best that you dont go to the beach and expose that cut.
