I just don't understand why all of a sudden I chose this method. Any advice/similar stories would help.

This happened to me two weeks ago (cut to burn) and like you, I didn't get the satisfaction to the degree I wanted - only the scar. Do you think that perhaps you were no longer getting the need fulfilled through cutting? And then again, maybe you were just curious and you needed to find out how it felt. Either way, i'm sorry that you had to experience it. Like you, me doing that wasn't worth it but I think that that may be a good thing. Like a life lesson of sorts. I'm sorry you are struggling so deeply though.
Be safe and take care.
