My senior prom is tomorrow and i’m scared and a nervous wreck. My prom has the junior class AND my senior class everyone’s gonna see my scars and i have no way of hiding now. The counselor at school told me they’re not noticeable and that i only notice them because there’s emotions to the scars. I’m freaking out because it seems obvious and i’m scared everyone’s gonna see. My dress doesn’t cover it and i thought make up might. I tried using foundation, consealer and even powder nothing works. Do i have to just face the music? I’m really scared people are gonna point and ask questions. This whole idea is making me want to SI and then now i feel like i hit the point that i did last week when i SIed where all the tension is built up and the only way to release it is by SI. Ifeel like i’m waiting till prom ends to go back to my ways.. i don’t know how i feel about it all. It’s only been a week and like 2 days since the last time. I feel like giving up i’m just tired of fighting my urges.
Prom will be fine. You’ll make it through. I was scared just the same with my prom last week. It ended up being a lot better than I anticipated. I told myself I wouldn’t SI until after prom and I haven’t yet. I’m just scared I’ll break any minute.
i baked thought it would help and make the urges go away and calm me down. It helped for the moment but i feel just how i felt earlier. If my friends ask am i supposed to just tell them?
Sometimes I give the “i’m not really sure where those came from” excuse. Which would be easier to use depending on location =/
and the area is not the greatest location to use any type of excuse.
I fell…….and now it looks like this lol
I felt the same way about my prom too (although it was 3 years ago). The more your self concious about it the more others will notice it. Use a little make up and try to ignore the scars. Its usually dark in there anyway and if your going to dinner maybe take a wrap with you since resturants are always a little ‘cold’. If anyone asks it happened when you were little and don’t remember. Don’t stress about it and try to have a good time! =)
I managed the night without people asking questions. Yet when it came time to check my hair in the bathroom i noticed it and started to try and hide it as i walked by teachers. I started to feel uncomfortable.
