Okay, stop. I'm not protecting her or her behaviour in general, she IS an attention whore, but I'm showing my scars too so I feel awful when you say this way she's glamorizing self harm and only because she shows them she's proud of them? No. It took me almost 10 years to be this open about my struggles. And I'm not proud of my scars. But I'm proud of the fact that I'm able to be this open by now. I still hate people seeing them, however I show them because it is part of the healing process. And there simply is no way to go this long without people noticing anyway.
It's one thing to live your daily life with scars in the open (as I, my boyfriend and certainly many girls here do), and another thing to say you don't glamorise self harm and eating disorders, yet post pictures of yourself that are ridiculously photoshopped on the face but not on the arms, and have your body showing so you can look as thin as possible. She says she doesn't want to trigger people, yet continuously poses to make herself look even thinner than she is.
If they were just candid pictures where you could see her cuts I wouldn't think it was attention-seeking, it's the fact that she is obviously flaunting how sick she is. She could have just taken a picture of the bodysuit on the hanger, or a quick webcam pic. But she had to get the photoshop out and the ridiculous poses. As @Allie said she's flaunting her disorder and really shouldn't because it gives people the wrong idea about mental health issues.
By no means should I think she should hide her recovery completely, but she should just have a bit of class about it.
