How do accept your scars? How you deal with the always having to be reminded of your failure?

If you work at slowly changing your thinking to recognise those scars as your history, even if it is imperfect , it's still yours. Eventually you'll learn to own it!

Seeing it as "failure" isn't the way to look at it. It's a sign of strength, and a reminder that you have been through much worse and you're still here. You didn't fail - you did what you needed to do to survive. There's nothing wrong with that.

You learn to love yourself despite the scars on your body scars remind you of the past you had and how you overcame the barriers in your life they remind you that you won that fight and yoiu can sure as hell do it again don't look at scars in a negative way

I don't see it as failure, I see it as a milestone (if you've been clean of harming yourself for a while) as you've been able to stop yourself in such a low time in your life. Those are apart of you now, they will be a reminder of how strong you were as you were strong enough to be able to pull yourself out of whatever you was facing.

Failure is apart of life, it's how we learn. You have to know and embrace failure to be successful and ask yourself this. Why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves up.

Change the way you view your scars. Don't look at them as signs of failure--look at them the way a soldier might look at his wounds after battles. You were fighting a very difficult battle with mental illness and the misery in your life when those scars were made and what they show is that you survived in the face of adversity. As they heal they become proof that you succeeded in fighting and winning, not failing.
