If you self-harm (cut yourself), how often do you do it, where do you do it and how deep do you cut?

I am a reformed self harmer, I have only self harmed once in the past 4 years. I never cut particularly deep as I didn't want medical attention. I never recieved treatment, I never needed stitches.

yea i used to do it once a day for about three weeks before my parents found out. then i promised i wouldnt do it any longer as long as i wasnt forced to go to a shrink, but by then i was addicted. i have weaned myself from it but i still do it on occasion when i really feel the need to do it. its an addiction, you really should try to get off it as soon as possible.
i do it on my wrist with a sewing needle because it cant go too deep and it doesnt scar (well it does but it completely goes away in a few days. the deepest 'cut' i did is still visible but just bearly) i only take off a few layers of skin. once i see blood i stop

forearm
not very, only so it breaks the skin, I dont do it because of my emotions, I do it because my friend had started and I told him I would cut myself too if they didnt stop, so I cut my self a couple times and he saw the marks, then they stopped, its kinda hard to stop though, so dont try, its like a drug, its addictive

i dont cut, but i do have a good friend who does. She has a rough home life and she feels cutting helps her cope with it.......Ive told her a thousand times that its un-healthy and thats the truth, ITS NOT A GOOD HABIT TO GET INTO!

Read a book called Stop Walking on Eggshells, or pick up a book on borderline personality disorder. If the shoe fits, see a therapist. See one anyhow.

i've stopped for 12 days now. i used to do it twice a day for a year. on my arms mainly, i kept cutting until i got the feeling wanted. i'm so glad i've stopped, i'm feeling normal again !

I usually do it a few times a week on my legs. It depends on my mood how deep they are.
