Help Cutting

[Uwa]

Does anyone have tips for like, cutting on arms but not getting caught? Idk why I want to do it on my arms so bad, but I have some weird obsession with doing it again some day.
At some point I switched to cutting my thighs but I don't get the same feeling at all. The only problem is, I don't want to be caught doing it by anyone. If someone gets a glimpse up my sleeve they might see the cuts. Does anyone know how I can hide it better, or should I just not do it at all?

I feel similar...... cutting elsewhere just isn't the same. So I've always had a bit of a fixation on cutting my arms, specifically.

That being said........ it is incredibly hard to hide. Especially on the forearms. The best you can really hope for is to cut only when the weather is cold, and wear long-sleeves until they heal. Or, wear arm warmers, if you think people won't question the fashion choice. But it's still very easy to get caught, plus you'll have to worry about the scars once the weather warms up. It's frustrating

Okayy I was thinking my arm warmers would help in school, I'm used to wearing them when it's warmer outside

The only problem is my family thinks wearing arm warmers is weird, for me at least, so I'll buy some more sweaters and wear those at home

I restrict it to my wrist and wear a watch.

If I may ask - why do you cut at all? Many people here discouraged me from doing so

Well, for me it like, I feel like I deserve pain, so I give it to myself. It's hard to completely explain, but it makes me feel better about myself for a day or two.

I would recommend not doing it tho, at this point I'm so addicted that I can't stop, and I don't want anyone else to deal with that. It's also prone to infection and what not.

First to hide them u want them to cicatrizise as fast as possible.
I'd recomend using something like vaseline dince its extremely eazy to access and isint suspect at all. Just put it in the closed cuts and ur good to go.
They should heal in some months until they become way harder to see and the same colour as your skin.
To hide them before that if its summer there isint rly any clothing choice u can do that isint questionable, so i would say that u need to hide it whit your body (always pointing your wrists downwards ect but u lrob do that already)
Anyways, good luck and i hope u get better soon.

Running sleeves are a good way to hide the wounds. They are tight and stay in place so even if the sleeve of your shirt would go up the only thing people will see are a running sleeve underneath. And you can always say that it is a fashion choice or you just like how they feel on your arms ;)
