I began SIing at 13 and continued until I was 43. Upper thighs mostly, as someone else said, so people wouldn't see. I quit cutting when someone switched me from risperdal to abilify. But to this day I am still trying to stop a different kind of SI; I know many of you won't think this counts but I am diabetic and when upset and hurting and full of anguish i eat 3 or 4 POUNDS of candy in one sitting. If I do this several nights in a row I almost need hospital; I stop only just short of diabetic coma. I don't know how high my sugar level gets because my machine, like most machines for home use, will go to 600 only. People go into a hospital around 800 or 900 usually. I don't know what my point is though, so fine.
