TW: TALK OF SELF HARM

Hi, so a few weeks ago, I c*t myself for the first time in a while. Luckily, I have reached out and am getting the help I need. I deeply regret indulging in self harm again. I am bipolar and couldn’t help myself during a manic episode. (Mania isn’t always extreme happiness, its heightened emotions in general: only stating bc its a misconception). The scars are healing up nicely because they were bad enough to become keloids, and they are not. It has been a few weeks and they are still red and very obvious. I was wondering if anyone has suggestions for how to get rid of the appearance any quicker? I have recently found a guy i like, but fear him seeing my cuts will scar him away. Also i am so so sorry if this was triggering for anyone. Any tips help.
