"Trolls say my scars are disgusting but I've embraced my battle wounds"

  • 22 days ago
A woman trolled by strangers who call her scars "disgusting" says she's finally embraced her "battle wounds" after years of hiding them.

Moona Mehomood, 22, struggled with her mental health since the age of nine and began to self harm.

She was diagnosed with complex post-traumatic stress disorder after several stints in hospital and has been recovering for the last four years.

Moona used to feel "ashamed" and "embarrassed" of the scars on her arms and legs but after meeting others like her through treatment she has started to embrace them.

She no longer hides them underneath jumpers and has the confidence to wear tops and shorts.
