Hiding Bruises? - December 17th 2011, 01:47 AM

The other day, I lost control again and I started to strangle myself in order to regain that control and calm down. I wasn't trying to kill myself, just get a grip on myself. Kinda like slapping in the face to wake up sort of thing.

Anyway, I have bruises around my throat and I tried using make-up to hide them, but it doesn't work. I do not own any turtle-neck shirts either to wear, nor do I have any thick chockers that will cover them entirely and my mom pays very close attention, so unless they are hidden, she WILL see them, and they are OBVIOUS. I have two that go across my throat...

Any advice on how to hide them or make them fade by tomorrow afternoon?

Do you own a scarf or an oversized hoody? Neither are out of the ordinary for this time of year in the south.

Please don't choke yourself. It's really easy to hurt yourself more than you were intending.

Everybody falls sometimes
Gotta find the strength to rise
From the ashes and make a new beginning
Anyone can feel the ache
You think it’s more than you can take
But you're stronger, stronger than you know
Don’t you give up now
The sun will soon be shining
You gotta face the clouds
To find the silver lining

My hoodie won't cover them and I do have a scarf, but my mom would be suspicious of me wearing it and I am staying the night there so it's not like I can sleep in it anyway. =/

I have gotten a lot better with this though, but my mom is insisting that I am getting worse, needs me to move back in with her so she can closely watch me. I really just want her to leave me alone and stop acting like I am a little kid. It's pissing me off imensely.

What about trying concealer, the type meant for bags under the eyes. You know?

What would be so bad about her finding out? Maybe she could get you help so you don't feel the need to do so anymore.


"'Colie, you should never be surprised when people treat you with respect. You should expect it.'
I shook my head. 'You don't know--' I began. But, as usual, she didn't let me finish.
'Yes,' she said simply, 'I do know. I've watched you, Colie. You walk around like a dog waiting to be kicked. And when someone does, you pout and cry like you didn't deserve it.'
'No one deserves to be kicked,' I said.
'I disagree,' she said flatly. 'You do if you don't think you're worth any better...'"

Re: Hiding Bruises? - December 17th 2011, 11:17 PM

I have already been getting help for years and been on medication. They have been wanting me severely doped on meds which is why I stopped seeing my new psychistrist. I am too scared of the damage being on that much medication at that high dosage. But I still go to therapy, and I still do stuff like this (they say it is because I am not taking the meds but I doubt that).

Anyway, my mom saw them, there was no way to hide it but she thought they were hickies. And she freaked because she believes I should not date anyone until I am ready to get married and I have missed my period twice in a row and she made me take a pregnancy test (which I had already taken three, but I did not want to tell her that and she would want to see the results for herself anyways). All FOUR tests were negative. Yet, still no period.
