Cutting
I've always loved Exacto knives and single edge razor blades for cutting. I used to cut my arms all the way up to my shoulders and my legs, mainly my thighs. I still press the blade into my thighs but I don't cut there. I only cut on my stomach now.
Biting
I do this everyday. I have anxiety so I bite my fingers and hands to calm myself.
Salt and Ice
Not sure how many people know what this is but it's been a favorite of mine. I normally do it on my ankles because socks cover it easily and it is a quite noticeable burn.
Head Banging/Hitting
I sometimes do this without thinking of it because I do it so often. I will sit with my head against a wall and just start banging it. Or laying down on a floor I bang it... Or I punch my thighs.
Hair Pulling
I recently cut my hair shorter than I'm used to so I will not pull it out but I still tug on my hair a lot.
Burning
I do this when I'm desperate. I just let a lighter stay lit for a while till the metal heats up and press it to my thigh. Or a match... matches are good.
I am trying to stop SI'ing altogether...
I started with scissors then moved on to razors and exacto knives. I mostly cut on my arms but I have cut on my thighs, calfs, back, stomach, feet, hands, fingers, and shoulders.
I have scars on most of my body. Some have faded considerably but they are still visible.
