I cut myself. I have scars on my arm, and now I have the burden of trying to hide them every day. Sometimes I get so fed up with it, that I don't care about hiding it and just try to keep my underside of my arm hidden. I'm worried about school, what will my teachers think or say if they see it, or how about if they already saw it and I didn't know? People always tell me I look tired. This is mainly due to how I naturally have a darker shade under my eyes, but when I don't get sleep it looks much worse. Now that I sort of have stopped cutting, I feel like punishing myself in other ways such as forcing myself to study and not sleep, and maybe allowing 2-3 hours of sleep, running for 2-3 miles without stopping, not eating for about 6 days, etc. My sister tells me I look like I'm on meth because I have bad acne and look tired all the time. And then there are the days that I'm withdrawn and trip on the stairs even. Will my teachers start to notice this I don't want them to think I'm weird.

I don't need help is what I can say quite candidly. I'm a good student, and you all seem to be overreacting. But anyways, to clarify, my question is will my teachers notice anything, and will they do anything? This is my main worry.

Seek help now and get this taken care of, you need some professional help. You want to be a productive happy member of society Im sure, and cutting yourself is a sure sign something is wrong. Talk to your parents teachers counselors and clergy

First of all - you won't look like you are on meth if you start treating yourself right! Eat properly, get enough sleep, and you can use some concealer to help with the darkness around your eyes. If you have stopped cutting, you can't help the scars, just wear what you want and stop caring what other people think. Have you thought about asking your parents if you could see a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon who might be able to minimize the scar or get rid of them?

Look into why you're cutting yourself. You need professional help and i suggest you go NOW. Your life is so precious and hapiness awaits you but you need to stop punishing yourself like that. You're draining your health. This is self distructive behaviour and you should listen to your sister. Maybe it is good for you to talk to your teachers and ask them what or who you need to get in touch with for help.

for what you have discribed it sounds like you have depression. The good news is that it can be dealt with and you can get help so that you can over come the problem.
