What a lot of people don't understand about self harm is you will have the evidence forever. We will always have our scars. It's hard to think that I will have scars on my wedding day. Yes scars do fade but they never disappear. I am in recovery of self harm right now. It is so hard. It wasn't meant to be easy. I have relapsed but I am doing better. It's hard to have to cover up my scars every single day or I could risk my family seeing them. Yes my parents don't know. I will tell them soon but right now is not the time. I really want to get better. I hate my scars. But they make up my story.
