TW: self harm

im looking for advice here. i struggle with severe self harm, and i have very bad scars on my arms. i have weekly islamic lessons at the mosque and it includes salatul duha. i am the type of person who for the life of me cannot hold my wudhu and i have to take it immediately before praying. which is also the time where everyone wants to take wudhu.

the thing is, im deathly afraid of people seeing my scars, as i have to roll up my sleeves to wash my arms. especially cause my mosque's wudhu area is quite cramped, alot of people would be able to see them

so i just didnt prayed during duha. i sat one one corner and pretended i was on my menses. and also prayed that none of the ustazah notice. it worked until today when the head ustazah gathered all the girls and told us that if people still keep on sitting out she will start tracking our cycle. so obviously im panicking cause that means I'll have to you know...risk people seeing them. i really dont know what to do. the only thing i can think about is faking my prayers. but like whats the point then?

okay the reason for why my hair is in this state is quite stupid. i crashed out so bad i started to chop at my hair violently AND THEN I LOOKED LIKE I FOUGHT A TIGER. i dont know what i was thinking, but now i really really regret it. I went to the barber and the aunty took one look at me and sighed. and then she said the only thing that can save me is a karen cut. im gonna kms bro i had such beautiful mid length wavy hair. WHY DID I HAVE TO RUIN IT and like this isnt the first time i did something drastic after an emotional meltdown. so like i either rock this wack ass hair or the karen cut. its so bad, its uneven at the back and like its soso choppy. and i have school on monday. IM SO STRESSED
