hiding scars and copeing stratergies

[Quiet Holly]

Hey,
I don't really have any copying strategies that work. The therapist i speak to has given me some ideas and leaflet. I have tried most and none are effective from preventing me *sh. I was wondering if anyone found any particular strategies useful.
Also whats the best way to hide visible scars? At weekend job, it's getting to warm to wear the work fleece. And i worried about about showing my arms. My employers don't know. And i don't think the customers would like to see it. Any ideas on a way to cover it
any advice would be grateful

Ive got one arm that the most visible scars are on and if i have to do short sleeves i put a tubigrip on & just say ive hurt my elbow if anyone asked!!!

does your uniform include a long sleeved top at all?

most places now have an alternative for people that do not wish to show their body for religious or cultural reasons, you should be allowed to wear this if you want to.

some places sell very thin long sleeves M&S is usually a good bet for things like that. But it does take some hunting.

it might be worth trying the cover up stuff - i think its done by changing faces now.

there is information on distractions that is compiled from suggestions from people here available on the main site.

Thankyou! I will try the tubigrip. At work they do have some long sleave tops but none that fit me. I have asked them to order new tops for me. But none have arrived yet :/
thankyou
