Hey hun. I remember the first time I was called out on my scaars. I felt like cutting right then. How dare he call me a freak. Anyone who stares is just ignorant and scared. They are scared cause of the unknown. There are enough people bringing awareness to what we do. It is so taboo people just stare cause they don't know what else to do. Now I just explain that I chose this like other people choose crying at sleeping and ice cream or overeating. I wore the first pair of shorts in public since that guy. No one noticed and it was at the beach. Picture it, 400+ scars all in rows of seven. Not one looked. People will get over it. ~Wishing you butterfly mornings and wildflower nights~*~*~*~*~
I have no medical training and give advice purely on personal experience. This in no way replaces proper medical attention. |
I was at the gym this morning and I was changing. I have gotten alot more comfortable doing that in front of everyone instead of running off to one of the little rooms. Well this morning I was being very detailed drying off because I was putting on my fentanyl patch there. I noticed about 5 ladies staring at me. I am not sure if its because I am overweight, my stretch marks, or my cutting scars. They were staring at my belly. My hand went strait to my scars to cover them and they all turned away. My self esteem went right down the tubes. I had some people tell me good things today so I am feeling a little beter, bit people shouldnt stare!!!
