| Comment | This will probably get lost but I still want to add it incase anyone finds it helpful.
I’m a woman in my 40s and have had some mental health issues. I didn’t physically self harm but I get why some do it. When ever I see the tell tale healed scars of self harm, I tend to think of them as someone’s old battle scars. When they are clearly mature scars with no sign of nothing new, it shows that that battle was won in some way (I know it’s not as simple as that with mental health, but you know what I mean). By all means cover them up if that’s what makes you comfortable, but remember they are now a reflection of survival.
Also, if anyone asks again, I’d personally make up a more ridiculous story every time. For example:
- sky dive went wrong and I landed on a greenhouse
- I’m part zebra
- Freddy Kruger got to me in my sleep but I won
- I battled a dragon
