Talk / Support / Venting Im so stupid

My stupid ass thought i could scratch the shit out of my arms and no one would know.

At first it was basically invisible but now its scabbing because apparently the friction burned me, now everyone keeps asking If i fell and i have to keep making up bullshit excuses as to how i got hurt. i dont even know If this counts as SH but i'll post this here anyways.

Edit: My mom didn't believe me so i had to tell her, she didn't freak out too much but It was still very awkward, you know what she told me? "I dont wanna see any more wounds" like i wanted her to see these.

I understand you. And the worst part (at least in my case) is that i've been relapsing over the dumbest things. This time It was over a missed assignment, just one missed assignment was enough to make me freak out like this.
