Help how to hide self harm bruises?

[Coffeehead]

I cut and punch myself at least once a day, and it's getting harder to hide the amount of bruises, though I can hide my cuts with shorts. I tried makeup, but my family (i live w/my parents) will notice.

I've been self injuring for decades. It really comes down to where you harm yourself. There are areas of yourself that folks don't typically see.

If you'd like more information- be that guidance to keep others from seeing, methods of hiding it, or resources to help support or stop- feel free to message me. I've been doing that struggle for a very, very long time.

makeup helps a ton, but icing your bruises can also make them heal faster along with wearing baggier/longer clothing. heat can also help bruising, along with compression and aloe vera (havent tried the aleo vera tbh but ngl that shit helps everything so)
