I need your help. Please take a moment of your time to read.
Around a year ago, I found out that more than a few of my friends were self harming, and it destroyed me. Ever since, I have this thing with my wrists, I have to have them covered up, even though I have nothing to hide. When they're not, I get panicky. I feel exposed and the pain of watching my friends suffer all comes back to me. I start panting. I just have to cover my wrists, I don't know why. I have to always wear long sleeves, if I don't I just feel sick and can't stop thinking about it. Seriously. It's difficult to describe. A few months later, it was getting ridiculous. I had to tie cloths around my wrists before I got in the bath/ shower just to feel comfortable. I had to tell my mum, just about the way I felt with the wrist exposure, I didn't tell her what I thought had caused it. She said to get someone to draw a little doodle on my wrist, then try to keep it uncovered during class to try and get myself used to it, but it didn't work. Please help me.
