scars

I also have them on the outside of my wrists...thank goodness for sweat bands! Only problem is im getting married and i cant get a tan b/c they will show through. I understand what youre going through, its a terrible thing when the only light at the end of the tunnell is a knife. If you dont like the scars etc then maybe taking a photo of them would be good if you are then tempteed to do it again in the future you could look at the photo to try to stop you. Let us all know how youre doing, love n hugs starr

i understand how you feel. i have over a hundred scars on my body, and i think they're disgusting. but i don't try to hide them, b/c it's a reminder of what i've been through. and if i can use my mistakes to help someone else stop theirs, then i will keep them forever. don't feel ashamed about what you did, learn from it. the only way we learn is through mistakes. and i hope you don't have to do that anymore.

Hi, I've had a mellanoma removal scar on my arm really helped by a laser technique. See a good dermatologist about yours if you can. More importantly I hope you have a good therapist who can help you learn to deal with the internal pain these scars represent. There is definitely help for you out there! Trisha

i hate the painful reminders of things left behind from a terrible ordeal you were once in. just things around you that remind you of someone you lost... or perhaps in my case i hate the scars left behind from the deepest depression i was in about a month ago. i turned on my own body with a knife. a very stupid thing to have done, but there's nothing i can do about it now. so every day i have to look at these hidious scars on the one part of my body i actually used to love, my legs. it makes me cry everytime i see it. i have to hide myself whenever my boyfriend comes around because of how ashamed i am. life is full of regrets and this one tops them all. i have been trying to get rid of them with creams , patches, and now i am looking into laser removal. and whats even worse is it is summer now and how am i expected to get into a bathing suit like this? i even have some on my stomach. i think theres like may be at the least 15. what am i to do with myself?
