  4 0 The key is to remember that the cutting was better than the alternative. You're still here. If people look askance at your scars, just be dead honest about them. Some people will have a problem dealing with that, but that isn't your problem, it's theirs. I'm quite honest about my years as a suicidal depressive and a cutter (also behind me, thankfully). Some people get quite uncomfortable when you mention suicidal episodes in your past, but to me, it's legitimately part of my history. I refuse to feel embarrassed about it, any more than I'd be embarrassed if I had scars from a car accident. I was ill. I'm better now.

This usually means they have their own pain. Cutting is not unusual by any means and it's not active in your case, which is even better. Scars are pretty unimportant in the big picture. It's ok. People of quality will not care. Don't let it hold you back now that you're feeling better. You carry the marks of your battle with you, like any fighter. There is no shame in it.

  2 0 The science of dermatology is your answer. Lasers, peels, collagen, all sorts of cool methods. The big hurdle might turn out to be paying for it, but you had coverage for your previous treatment, so why not this too? One can hope. Interestingly, if you Google "scare removal" you get pretty much the same hits as if you'd typed "scar removal" which just shows the world is willing to meet you more than halfway. But people who don't want to be afraid any more can suck it, for all Google cares. elenchos answered in Sex & Relationships over 2 years ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  0 0 You're going to be okay. You can still be loved and touched. YOU YOU YOU are the object of your partner's desire, not the surface of your skin. When you feel comfortable, you can tell the person about the scars. I held back about telling a boyfriend about mine, but when I felt comfortable enough to, it felt like a good, honest, intimate moment. Like I was letting him in on where I've been. And then after that it was a non-issue.
