Never be embarrassed about your scars hun. They are there as a symbol of what you are going through and play an important part of your story. Mine symbolise strength. I am strong enough to do that to myself. I am strong enough to keep going. They are also a desperate cry for help. I told one person about them. She told me that words are more meaningful than actions. Cry out loud. Don't cut those cries into your skin. While it may be a helpful release, do it in a safe way and never ever be embarrassed about them x
