So I did sh on my stomach and inner thigh awhile back. I don’t do sh anymore though I do have thoughts. I wore shorts for the first time since the weather is nice and you can see the scars on my thigh. I thought I did it high enough that they wouldn’t show but they do. I feel so ugly now because they’re all over my stomach and thigh and you can see them. I have suicidal thoughts sometimes just because of the scars and how I look now though I’ll never act on them. I just hate myself so much for doing that to myself and am having a mini panic attack as we speak. I feel so ugly and so alone.

I may not be good at saying comfort sentences.
But I just wanna say, that I feel sorry about what you went through. However remember that you shouldn’t let your scars define you, me myself I have scars in some parts of my body that I used to find ugly as I was younger. However I realised they’re just part of your story, your bravery/survival.
you shouldn’t feel bad or “broken” because of them, a lot of people go through alot so don’t let your scars define your worth. You still deserve kindness and support even with those scars.
Just remember – if you’ll need someone to talk to, you can talk to me. I may be a stranger but atleast you’ll have someone to talk to I suppose
Thank you so much for this. It genuinely made me cry. I think in time I could wear things that don’t cover my scars in public but it’s mainly just at home because I don’t want my parents to see. I go to therapy and I’m planning on talking with my therapist about it, I’m just not ready to tell my parents yet.
