You don't want to get addicted to something as dangerous as cutting. Also, you won't really want to have ugly scars when you're older. I used to do mine rapid and shallow, but all over, thinking if I didn't go deep it wouldn't cause too many scars. Now that I'm older I've got these spider web traces all over my arms, not to mention the deep gouge marks on my breasts and belly (where I went deeper, because I thought nobody would see.) The day might come when you want to look pretty to someone special, and you'll be ashamed of your scars.
I don't know if you see someone for help with your depression and self injury, but it would be really good if you could get some help before it develops into something even worse. i know one woman who ended up damaging her tendons she cut so deep. i don't want anything bad to happen to you.

You are right. I have some scars but it's not bad. I don't cut really deep. I don't need help really
