I have been an active self-harmer for two years now. My last self-harm attempt was two weeks ago, and 6/10 on a severe level.
Christmas wasn't long ago either. My grandmother had gotten me this beautiful sequenced top that must have been incredibly expensive, except the only problem is that it has no sleeves. My mom's side of the family has been organizing a New Year's Eve party, in which they do every year, and it's huge. Every HAD TO insist that I wear this on New Year's Eve, and my grandmother said this in exact words, "I would die if you didn't wear that to your mama's party!" The only problem is: I have pink scars all down my wrist.
The scabs have fallen off, the only thing left are the scars, and I'm not sure what to do. I really want to wear my grandmother's top, because she's old and she's getting sick, and I just want her to be happy, but what should I do about my wrists?
I honestly have no clue what to do. Are there any recommendations to cover up the scars some way but allow me to wear the top? Should I not risk it and wear the top another time, when the scarring has subdued? Help.
