Self harm can really hit people hard in their times of need, no matter what age. It's a shame but people can develop the need to cut or cut deeper at whatever age.

It's obvious you would be feeling the need to do more than usual (in terms of self harm) when you are really ill and the fact that you're 43 doesn't change anything. Self harm is usually associated with "angst ridden teenagers" (I heard this in a programme about SH), but really anybody can self harm (and believe me, 43 really isnt that old at all).

You should maybe tell your T about the urge to cut (if you have one) and you could probably work something out.
