For me it all depends on my emotions or if I feel really outside of reality. I was self injuring everyday mulitple times. I feel so miserable when I cut or replace the cutting with alcohol..I have temperary relief or feel back down to earth but I always feel worse later or I get extremely parinod that people can see what I was doing or could see the aftermath. If I stop cutting then I go to sneaking vodka and drinking it to replace the feeling that cutting gave me. But for the most part no matter what I was feeling I was self harming everday some way or another.
