Help Cutting

[PurplePerson]

Does anyone have tips for like, cutting on arms but not getting caught? Idk why I want to do it on my arms so bad, but I have some weird obsession with doing it again some day.
At some point I switched to cutting my thighs but I don't get the same feeling at all. The only problem is, I don't want to be caught doing it by anyone. If someone gets a glimpse up my sleeve they might see the cuts. Does anyone know how I can hide it better, or should I just not do it at all?

I feel similar...... cutting elsewhere just isn't the same. So I've always had a bit of a fixation on cutting my arms, specifically.

That being said........ it is incredibly hard to hide. Especially on the forearms. The best you can really hope for is to cut only when the weather is cold, and wear long-sleeves until they heal. Or, wear arm warmers, if you think people won't question the fashion choice. But it's still very easy to get caught, plus you'll have to worry about the scars once the weather warms up. It's frustrating

Okayy I was thinking my arm warmers would help in school, I'm used to wearing them when it's warmer outside

The only problem is my family thinks wearing arm warmers is weird, for me at least, so I'll buy some more sweaters and wear those at home

I restrict it to my wrist and wear a watch.

If I may ask - why do you cut at all? Many people here discouraged me from doing so

Well, for me it like, I feel like I deserve pain, so I give it to myself. It's hard to completely explain, but it makes me feel better about myself for a day or two.

I would recommend not doing it tho, at this point I'm so addicted that I can't stop, and I don't want anyone else to deal with that. It's also prone to infection and what not.
