<font color=red>TRIGGERING!!!</font color=red>




In December I made about 8 cuts lengthways down each of my legs, from the knee down. They weren't deep but I can still see red lines where the cuts were. are the cuts still healing or are these scabs?

What dictates if a cut becomes a scab and heals, or a scar? I don't know. But I do know I have a permanent scar on my hand. I damaged it so badly. I used a knife and scraped the top of my hand, going through the skin, until it no longer hurt. I think that was in December too. That is definitely not recommended.

I didn't cut for long, I started in December and when I went into hospital beginning of February I couldn't cut then. But now I am out I still think about cutting, but when I try it, I am not motivated and stop as soon as it hurts. (I am not a person who feels pain after cutting. Every time I cut, it hurts.) Is this normal? Should I still be thinking about cutting and trying to do it? I am on antidepressants, I started Zoloft/Lustral beginning February, and I am now on 100mg.
