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.

i agree with this.
i have scars from realy deep ones that are on my thighs.
now im realy embarased when i go swimming
or am intamate with my boyfriend.
also people ask questions
and judge me when they see them.
i dont cut any more,
i find that when i feel like i want to,
i will do something to distract those feelings,
like take a shower,
or call somebody that i can talk to,
even if its about something irrelivent,
like a new movie comming out soon
... or something.
i would encourage you to try this technique.
