I used to use a pin or needle that I would heat over an open flame and then use to scratch/cut designs into my arm or leg. For some reason it was always the left arm or left leg. Sometimes I would write words, other times, designs, but I always tried to write or draw something that I felt I was missing, such as "strength" or "love."

I started off with scissors then moved to a pair of compasses. They were both on the lower left arm. But then my parents found out so now I use a pen knife on my left shoulder. Unless I feel really bad then I slip back down to my lower arm, but that doesn't happen often. On the shoulder it is a lot easier to hide.

Mostly my left ankle on the inner leg, it is easier for me to hide, but sometimes my arms.

when i was cutting...im trying to stop...i cut on my legs and stomach with a blade

i used to cut my arms but for figure skating i wear tank tops so i cut my stomach and my legs. xx

Hi there I cut my wrists,arms,legs,stomach,chest my face a few times.I used nails,fingernails,pins paperclips,Knives,scissors,pill bottle lid,anything that i can break and get a sharp edge basically.

I always cut on my upper right leg, i can hide it well there. And i've tried to stop, coz it left permanent marks, and i hate it.
But now i start to think that its impossible to stop, i need to cut so badly if i'm desperate, and i always do. the pain make feel better, and when the pain gone, i'll feel more desperate..

well for me it was my arms 2 first, i'd get so enraged i'd even scratch them with my fingernails, until they bleed, ( now i keep acrylic nails on so i cant & b/c they look nice) also i'd break apart a disposable razor and i always do it in the bathroom b/c i dont want anyone to see

i forgot to add i went from my arms, to my thighs, and back to my forearms

I started just using my fingernails...they're pretty sharp so the cuts/scars are pretty bad. I switched to razor blades pretty quickly. I started cutting my arm- anywhere from my wrist to my elbow but by now I have cuts/scars from my shoulders to my wrists on both arms, scars/cuts on my left hand, scars/cuts from my thighs to my ankles on both legs, and scars on my stomach. I wear long sleeves to hide it mostly since even when people know i don't like the looks i get.

I usually cut my forearms and wrists with a razor blade. Sad, but that's life.

I cut on my arm, used to be on the outter side, now mostly on the inner side coz it's a lot easier to hide. I cut my ankle too. The best tool for me is razor blade. My arms is covered with healing cuts, fresh cuts and scars. Hopefully one day there will only be scars left.

i cut my thighs and for arms with just about anythigh that will due real damage. i had to get creative when i lived in grouphomes. ive learned to make most of my tools, though now that i live on my own i usually use raors.

I started off scratching my arm with manicure sissores, then I started cutting my leg with a razor, now I only cut on my stomach with a razor. And lately I've started bruning myself with a peice of metal that I hold over the stove till its really really hot. (that hurts like hell)

i cut mostly on my thighs. ive been cutting on the palm of my hands lately (easily covered with gloves and scars arent noticeable at all after a short time) ive cut my wrist, my forearm, my shoulder, my legs, my ankles. basically anywhere i could...thats why im trying to quit :]. people add me, i just joined and am in great need of friends :)
