I hide it because otherwise my friends or family would be worried, I think they wouldn't understand.

At first, I tried to hide the fact that I used to harm myself. And then, I started talking to a friend of mine. She gave me advice on how things should be and it doesn't have to be like this. That's when I started coming online for free therapy or at least anonymous people to hear me out. Thanks to 7 Cups Of Tea, I found a great meaning towards life itself and started seeing my life in a new perspective.

I am not open about my self'-harm at all. A lot of people in my school have gone through it and it the school starts some pretty terrible rumors. I do tell people I am super close with though because I know they don't judge me. Also if someone comes out to me then most of the time I tell them I understand since I have been through it myself.

It depends on the person. If you’re close to the person and you know they won’t judge you then you should’ve open about it. You should also be open if you want to get help.

I am open to a point. I don't try to make it a habit to tell everyone I meet, but if the question arises, I don't like to lie. Some of my friends know, my parents, and my boyfriend does too. My goal is really to hide it, but I just kind of started opening up a little.

I openly talk about it about with people whom I trust, or if I'm anonymous. Especially if I'm in a situation where sharing my experiences can help others, I do so.

I hide it, unless I am around a trusted friend that knows what I am going through.

My friends and my family are aware of my self harm, some of it cannot be hidden from those who care. I hide the new wounds, marks, and scars but because I'm in recovery and trying to get hold of things I think it's all right some people know - because they also know I'm fighting hard against it.

I don't say it at the first meting, like "Hello, I'm Sasha, look at my cuts!" I share this with someones who are close to me and who cares. It's an individual thing, but for me it's a taboo to show it to someone who didn't ask.
