How can I hide self harm cuts?

When I did it, I wasn't thinking and I ended up doing it on my arms. It's getting much warmer and my parents don't know, so I need to at least hide it while I'm at home. But because of it getting a lot warmer, I can't wear long sleeves all the time.

Don't hide it

@Jackaloftheazuresand: Why?

Jackaloftheazuresand · 26-30, M

Because it's not healthy, the sooner you trust them, the better

@Jackaloftheazuresand: I can't trust my parents. When my mom found out a month ago, she flipped out and also told 2 people.

Jackaloftheazuresand · 26-30, M

Did you tell her how that made you feel?

fluteacorn · 22-25, F

@Jackaloftheazuresand: I tried, but she wouldn't listen.

Jackaloftheazuresand · 26-30, M

Try again

fluteacorn · 22-25, F

@Jackaloftheazuresand: She isn't going to listen. The residential psychiatrist at the hospital did, but I only knew her for 5 days. I was scared to talk to her, but it helped me go 3 weeks without cutting.

Excuses

fluteacorn · 22-25, F

@Jackaloftheazuresand: What are you talking about?

Jackaloftheazuresand · 26-30, M

Make her listen

fluteacorn · 22-25, F

@Jackaloftheazuresand: How? I tried when it was the 2 of us alone in the hospital room.

Jackaloftheazuresand · 26-30, M

You know her better than me and you know what you must say

fluteacorn · 22-25, F

@Jackaloftheazuresand: She doesn't listen to me and she probably never will. I don't think she really loves me.

Jackaloftheazuresand · 26-30, M

There's that defeatist attitude again

fluteacorn · 22-25, F

@Jackaloftheazuresand: I don't know what I can do about it.

Jackaloftheazuresand · 26-30, M

Buck up, you're stronger than you act

fluteacorn · 22-25, F

@Jackaloftheazuresand: I'm not strong though.

Jackaloftheazuresand · 26-30, M

So, how do you feel if I call you pathetic?

fluteacorn · 22-25, F

@Jackaloftheazuresand: I think it's true. I am pathetic. I'm also a worthless piece of shit.

Jackaloftheazuresand · 26-30, M

Don't lie to me

fluteacorn · 22-25, F

@Jackaloftheazuresand: I'm not lying. Why don't you believe me?

Jackaloftheazuresand · 26-30, M

I know how people think

fluteacorn · 22-25, F

@Jackaloftheazuresand: What makes you think that?

Jackaloftheazuresand · 26-30, M

I'm good at what I do, now I'll help you as much as I can but you have to do this for yourself
