You can't. They'll see them anyways.

It won't be possible to hide them overnight but as they are health care professionals you are covered by the Data Protection Act and Patient-Doctor confidentiality so they are not legally allowed to tell anyone else

Saying you can't, is an understatement. You can do anything you'd like, if you put effort into it. But, try to take deep breath's and relax. I highly doubt you're the first person they've seen covered in scars. If you receive any comments/questions, refer to seeing a councellor about it. Most likely if they think you're already receiving help, they won't interfere.
Best of luck, pm me anytime.

Depending on where you live, if the doctors see that you're hurting yourself, I know in the US, they have to tell your parents.
If you're looking to hide that, my best advice would to be to wear foundation, or lots of bracelets or arm warmers.

Something I use to do is to wrap a bandana about where the cuts are, and it looked like a cute accessorie, but it also covered the cuts and scars. So if that's something you can do, try it.

But as the others have said, you can't cure cuts over night. You could try to bandage them and tell the doctors you slipped or something, but this is all up to you.

I hope all goes well for you tomorrow love.

Hey there.

I'm currently in therapy and my therapist told me the samething as the others have said. I just had an appointment where I was worried my Dr would see my cuts/scars. If you are questioned, tell them you are in therapy and are working through it. They cannot push any further then that. If your not in therapy, then I guess you would have to lie. However, if you aren't I really recommend you get involved in it. Its more helpful then you can imagine. If you want any more information on therapy just PM me. I'd be happy to walk you through it.

Take care.


Life is to short to put it off anymore
You gotta live it before it’s too late
I can’t turn that clock back around
On what you’re dreaming about
You better do it now, don’t wait

Do something crazy and dumb, while your still young. <3
