smmath, don't rely on on-line tests to diagnose yourself. Cutting can be a symptom of so many differenrt disorders. Like the others I'd encourage you to seek out a professional opinion.
Meanwhile, have you checked out the self-injury forum here at PC? Folks there might be able to help with ideas and support.
