I was recently self-harmed for the first time in a while, I have a night out on Saturday and I have these cuts on my arms and I need to hide them. I’m really starting to panic I have no idea what to do, does anyone else have any ideas? Anything and very thing would be helpful thank you. xxx

Long sleeved top?
Sticking plaster?
My god he's finally been banned! Useless that he was :rolleyes:
Was this really necessary?
Yes, he was a bit eccentric but he was just crying out for help most of the time. Anyway, this has already been discussed elsewhere.
Sorry, I'm just in that type of mood tonight, and tbh, his reply was completely disrespectful, and alot worse than mine.
I wasn't aware that he had been "discussed" elsewhere either (which sounds even worse tbh)
its autumn now so you shouldnt have any problems hiding it like that.
Its alright temporarily. If you wear it too much though people start to ask questions.
I wear lots of bracelets on my wrist to cover the scars that are still a little visible. I'm lucky though and most of my scars are now so faded (due to years of using scar treatment) that most people don't notice them. I can see them though and if I pointed them out, people would then notice them.
hope youre ok.
Just a note, are you taking care of it? You should avoid wearing wooly tops over it as it will pull at the scabs. Put savlon on it and make sure it is kept clean.
