my tape was short height wise so i had to use a lot and i think i could have pulled my chest more but for the first time i think it isn’t bad. Any tips?

my sister found out, how do I deal with the guilt?
My sister found out about some self inflicted wounds on my knees because she saw them. We talked, I confessed and she took away anything that i used to do it. I had already been clean for a couple of weeks so i’m not too worried right now. I feel incredibly guilty though, mostly because i’ve been doing this for several years and the cuts she found were very few in comparison to the scars i have on my thighs. I didn’t tell her about those because they’re quite ugly and she was already very upset and I don’t think she should know about them. I’m not going to do it anymore now so I don’t really see the point in telling her, i think it’d do more harm than good. The guilt has been eating at me, mostly a voice in my head telling me that i’ve ruined my body and that i’ll never be the same again. Has anyone in recovery gone through this? Any advice? How do i deal with these feelings?

millenium mps-1000 hihat fix
I’ve had this kit for about 4 or 5 years and it’s really good. The only drawback initially was the hi-hat, it wasn’t reliable and often the pedal sound wouldn’t work or it had a very low volume. I hadn’t had this problem in a couple of years though.
I think I just found a way to fix it by accident: while i was playing i noticed that the rubber on the underside of the cymbal wasn’t properly inserted in the plastic so i pushed it back in and the hi-hat problem reappeared. So then I used like a credit card to pull it out again (only on the part on the underside where there’s a raised line on the top that signals where to hit it) and after a couple of hits it went back to normal and worked perfectly!
If you have this problem try this and let me know if it works or if this was just a coincidence!
The picture at the beginning is for reference to show what i mean when i say i pulled the rubber part off.
