does anyone else here cut religiously?

[gizzreid]

i mean like.. a lot of it. i've got scars and cuts on my shoulder, arm, thigh, knee, calf, stomach, etc. running out of spots i can hide. i stopped doing my thigh because it makes T shots incredibly difficult but other than that, as long as i can hide it it's free reign. i think it'll be funny when i CTB and they find all the cuts on my body like "oh he was one of those" lol

I started out sh burning. And my thighs are a spiraling map of symbols and shapes. Those stick out from all the cutting scars. I'm religious in not going over them unless to inebriated. I saved a patch for cutting when I had to stop and since then it's just a patch of overlapping scars that dull blades in a few cuts, I'm very concerned about anyone seeing it so other body parts are mostly left alone though my I also messed my torso up enough. I imagine people seeing that too as only 1 person in my life knows about it. Hears what's been wrong the last decade world and the crowd goes silent.

Yes. Been dealing with a SH addiction since I was 14. I'm better at managing it nowadays but I've unfortunately relapsed again recently.

I have so, so many scars. They're everywhere, on my wrists, arms, belly, hips, thighs and shoulders. I've stopped cutting my wrists and arms a long time ago, and more recently my thighs which leaves me to my belly, hips and shoulders.

During soccer season a few years ago, my team got a good number of new players (I've been playing with the same ladies since we were in middle school provincials, we basically grew up together!) and one of the new teammates straight up asked me about the scars on my thighs in front of the whole damn team! The ladies who I've known for years know I struggle with my mental health but are polite enough to not make a scene out of it, but this was just straight up rude! Needless to say, I brushed them off and made it clear that she shouldn't bring it up again. Thank goodness she hasn't!

Anywho, I digress. Long story short, yes, I do cut "religiously" haha

 

[One day too late]

I haven't sh in over a year but when I did I was cutting religiously. Most of my scars are on my upper thighs. I have one big scar on my wrist and one on my stomach which were my sweet spots and kept cutting the same spot over and over when ever I sh.

 

[cherrysquick]

yup, for me it's quantity over quality so my relapses aren't that dangerous but look horrendous to normal people because i do it on my whole right arm and both thighs. at this point the skin on my arm is so littered with scars i can't cut on clean skin anymore lol. summer is coming and it was already bad a year ago but i definitely have a lot more now plus they're mostly in visible places. i'm just a walking example of a sh addict honestly

I don't cut nor burn, but I have had Dermatillomania or Excoriation Disorder since I was 6 or 7. I know it isn't entirely the same. But, I can get lost and spend countless hours just peeling my skin off. It is theraputic for me. It has meesed with a lot in my life. I have had to wear long sleeves and full length pants year round, even in 100f weather. And intimate relations are especially scarce because, how do I explain 30 or more years of scars on my body?

 

[murdermaverick]

I used to. It was a daily part of my life for the better of 5 years. I still slip up here and there, but I prefer cutting on my arms and my job makes that quite hard for me to hide. plus it got exhausting for me, the cleanup part. As sick and twisted as it sounds I loved having cuts and I love my scars. I've been unintentionally clean for 2 or 3 weeks now I think?

 

[trist]

i used to cut multiple times a day so i have a lot of scars. the only reason i do it much less now is that i can't go as deep as before most of the time which leaves me unsatisfied.

 

[unnormal9]

I cut during my lows. Reck things in my hgihs= like now.

 

[rivercatt]

due to commitments, i have to wear roll up sleeves which makes it really hard to hide already existing scars or cuts when they are fresh on my wrists which is unfortunately my preferred spot for SH, so it leaves me using thighs which are now a mess.

 

[silent star]

I used to, I've been Clean for like almost a month tho I really miss it, I remember when I couldn't go a day without doing it I would constantly did it I would sometimes even do it in the middle of class. I can't wear shorts/skirts anymore god people like to stare

 

[unnormal9]

Reck = self harm (highs), cut = self harms (lows).

 

[Toy]

Yes, I cut a lot as it brings me comfort and helps me to feel something. Usually, I just forget it's there afterwards until I relapse again since the place I do it is on my thighs so I can hide my cuts easier.
I've been trying to stop relapsing but I feel as if I can't.
If I don't do it to the point where i'm bleeding in some form, it isn't enough for me.

 

[Not.Flugel]

Yes, still cut like everywhere. Starts on my thighs, and now it's everywhere that can be hidden. Sometimes I can't be bothered to not cut to hide, so I have cut my face, neck and hands more than once.
And like most of the time nobody cares about it, so eh. It's mostly impossible to hide while in lab anyway, and I refuse to not wear short things in summer, but don't take me for an example. I walked into lab with fresh cuts all over my hands to work with strong acids/bases.
