sad&stuck

@Former-Member @outlander
Mine are down towards the bottom of my legs and heading upwards so unfortuantly there is no hiding them. I guess the only thing to do is accept that they are there? Wish I did on the upper thighs, would of been easier to hide.

I think I will try to focus on updating my music for the trip and try not to think about it (yeah right)

@STORMGRL101 it is what it is. your family are at least aware of your mental state and all though your scared to show them and i would be too- my family dont know i sh at all- but theres a chance they have already seen them

are they on both legs..?

yes @outlander both legs.
since my recent diagnosis (BPD) my parents are now aware of my struggles and apparently my mum told my partner she understands why I would SH although she hasn't said anything to me about it or seen it as i have been wearing trackies for the last however long its been.

hmm @STORMGRL101 they will understand. i can still sense fear and i dont blame you one bit for that but it seems they understand you or they are trying to understand you.

i think if you pay too much attention to it rather than having fun itll draw the attention to them more- if that makes sense. try to jsut have fun though as @Former-Member said youll ahve to be careful about sunburning them. if your in the sun for a long time maybe you could cover your lower legs with a towel to stop the sun getting at them

thanks @outlander you are right. The only people who have seen my SH was the drs in hospital. I will definitely keep my towel wrapped around my waist.
why is it I listen to music, not even sad music but it makes me feel...not sure of the right word... not sad and not scared but overwhelmed I guess. I dont know

yes thats a good quote thanks @outlander

i think i will have a warm milk and honey and take my medication and hopefully relax.

You could wear a sarong around your waist @STORMGRL101 .... and just drop it at the water's edge to swim, and pick it up again from the water's edge as you come out again. That will also protect from the sun.
