I can't hide my chewed fingernails, and my beatings to myself, if I feel the hate to myself building up while I am in a public place, I will stuff it down until I am safe in private or with certain close friends, and then I will let the volcano explode.

Wrist bands and hoodies

About 95% of my cuts are on my legs, so they're easy to hide. All my life, even before SI I've been know to be overly modest. I never wear short shorts and almost always wear a hoodie. To hide the scars on my legs I simply wear pants, I'm from Maine, pants in the summer isn't unusual. For the scars on my wrists I just wear arm bands I bought at Hot Topic. I have a few stomach scars but those are easy to hide as I always wear a shirt. (obviously)
