Unsure if this should be in self injury or dissociation. I'd like feedback from editors on this forum for the right category.

My cutting began when I was 13 when my mother very harshly verbally abused me. I got a C in math on my 8th grade report card. She told me I emanated evil. Her exact words. I didn't know I cut myself until I saw the cut and the blood. Did I dissociate? It;s on my right wrist. Scar still there.

I never remember cutting myself. I only find out when I see the cuts that are mostly below my elbows. Size ranges from half an inch to an inch. I don't see any other explanation. Its not like I bump myself.

Now I noticed a horizonal cut an inch wide on my upper right thigh. Now if this is a self injury I'm injuring myself where most people can't see it. True you can wear long sleeves but to see my latest cut , well they don't make shorts that short, including short shorts. I feel really sneaky.
