I cut for the first time last week...I'm 24 years old. I'd always thought about it as not being an option, but something triggered me to want to try, because I read it helped give immediate relief. Three cuts on my forearm. I've had to wear a band-aid to work to hide them, because they are obvious and in straight lines. I did it again two days ago when I had a panic attack before work. I felt worse and terrified both times, but I still have the urge to do it again. I really don't understand it...I think the pristiq I was taking triggered it, but I'm not taking it anymore and still want to.
