Forced into showing my scars

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version

Today was very interesting. I had a couple doctor appointments for a couple things. One of those things being that I am so tall i have poor circulation in my legs. The doctor told me that I needed to have an ultra sound done on both my legs. For any normal person this would be fine...but I am not normal....I cut on my legs :/ It was so akward....the lady who did it told me to take my shoes, socks, and pants off. So I did and she came back into the room...and was like "ok we just gotta pull these up" and she pulled my underwear up to my crotch revealing the cuts and scars on my upper thigh. It was so wierd.....but thankfully she was profesinoal and said nothing about it. I acted like nothing was their and she did the same. I thank you Ultra sound lady. Have any of you ever been put into a situation like mine where you were forced to reveal your secret? I would like to hear your storie. ~The Depressed_Friend

I have had a problem with my knee for quite some time, but I'm scared to go to the doctor for fear they will make me take my pants off and will see my scars, especially since I'm only 14 and they would probably end up telling my parents. My parents already know about my SI, but I fear that if the topic is brought up, they will be inclined to talk about it. But, no one has ever seen my scars when I don't want them to, I try to be careful.

I'm in a situation similar to that every day. I have hundreds of visible scars that cover my body. The most visible ones are those that cover both forearms and people stare at them all the time; I even catch close friends staring. It's not really embarrassing, I just wish they'd ask me about it or something.
