How can I start accepting my scars?

Just think of them as battle wounds. You won a battle with yourself you beat your demons and that makes you a superhero and all superheroes get hurt and have scars so don't be ashamed of winning against your demons

By remembering you're through it now. They are scars, they are not fresh cuts. They have healed, you have healed.

I hated my scars. They used to make me anxious. I used to cry when I saw them. Now I choose to see them as a sign of never allowing myself to be defeated. Tiger stripes :D

tell yourself everyday that you're beautiful, that every inch of your skin is important and beautiful you have star dust under your skin and all around you, you are special and so, so beautiful

Accept them by realizing scars are forever, they're now part of you, it is who you are. Think of them in a positive aspect. There's nothing wrong with having scars.

Accepting scars, "scars" does not just apply to physical scars but is even more relevant for mental scars that only you can see, but yet you feel as they standout more then anything. Scars can dig deep and you borrow your feelings inside of them but to express that what ever happened is over and to move forward is to turn that scar into a reminder that you are a survivor and only strong people survive !

you have to accept it. it is going to be part of your recovery, though. your scars are signs that you have passed a lot of bad things and you've stayed strong, you're still alive.

By telling yourself that you're not the only one. Others have scars too. Some accept it some don't. These scars became a part of you that you can't change anymore.

Your scars have been there with you at your worst times. Look at your scars as if you have achieved something. Dont hide them but be proud that you have made it so far. That you have fought and won these battles. Scars show you how strong you are. Instead of flashing back to the bad old memories, look at it and smile because you have made it so far and passed one of your worst time of life. It can be painful sometimes to look at it. To make yourself better, try to decorate your scars. Like if you have a scar on your arm, decorate it with glitter and make it prettier than it already is. Scars are a part of your life to show you that you are an amazing fighter, that you are strong, and that you made it. Dont overthink it and think about it too much. You can do this!

Everyone has a past and if they are apart of yours it's about excepting where you are now and how far you have come in your recovery and feeling proud of yourself !
