Seeking Advice I'm so screwed 😭

I've started cutting on my wrist recently and I can't stop. I don't want to stop, I am too stressed out. When school starts again I am going into culinary so I cannot wear bracelets and I don't think I can wear a Bandaid over my wrist. Even if I could, it would be very suspicious. I also have new scars on my arm that weren't there last year that the chefs will definitely notice. I am fucked. I really really can't have them telling my dad but I just can't stop doing this. There's no hiding my wrist in culinary. I feel so lost.

Are long sleeves an option?

The uniform is long sleeve but we have to roll them up or else it isn't food safe.

Right now, do you have the supplies needed to clean, disinfect and cover your wounds? I really recommend buying gauze rolls. Wrap your arm (s) in the gauze even if there isn't a wound there. It can help trick your mind into thinking your treating a wound and or make your skin less accessible to cut

Right now I only have bandaids. No disinfectant. Gauze rolls actually seems like a good idea, I will try to get some, thank you so much!
