Selfharming

Part of the wonderful work SCUFF does is helping those who have recovered from #Selfharming to fund a tattoo to cover up their scars. A tattoo which they may not otherwise have been able to get.

A wonderful way to celebrate their achievements!

Here is a cover up tattoo that has been funded by our amazing supporters! This tattoo was done by Eloise at Gilded Dagger Tattoo / @gildeddaggertattoo . Here's what our applicant had to say about the experience:

"Getting this scar cover up has given me so much more confidence with wearing short sleeves in public, I used to hide away in jumpers and jackets even when it was boiling hot which isn't nice. SCUFF have given me freedom and courage and I will forever be grateful. When I first looked at my tattoo I got quite emotional because it felt like all the years of hiding away and being ashamed of my scars had gone and I could try and put the past behind me, not to mention how beautiful the tattoo is - the tattooist is so talented! Thank you so much SCUFF for this funding, you really do make a change in people's lives."

As you know, I put my beautiful girl to sleep last Monday (15th February). Well now, my husband and I are separating. I've struggled for a long, long time (30+ years) with my #Depression & this, along with what happened in my childhood, affects how I interact with everyone, especially in relationships. We've tried and tried and I think if we carry on we'll end up resenting each other. We've been here far too many times before and much as we love each other, if we carry on, we'll end up hating each other & he's a lovely bloke, even if he drives me up the proverbial wall sometimes 😉
I'm staying in Scotland & looking for somewhere to live. I'd rather be nearer my sister & travel to see pals than live closer to pals & travel to see my sister, if that makes sense. He said he'll support me financially for as long as I need it. I'm kinda scared (#MentalHealth , #Selfharming etc) but trying to look on it as a new start.
