Do most people here cut themselves? Or is this not "normal" for depression?
My depression has worsened recently. I guess I'm having a Major Depressive Episode? It started in February when I went to the ER for cutting.
I'm finding myself cutting almost every day now. It's not a lot, just enough to cause a new wound.
I am also cutting outside of my home. I used to only cut when I was at home.
Am I alone in this? Or are there others in the same boat?

I hope you find comfort and peace.
Maybbe try putting a positive spin on your scars instead of flashing back abd being hard on yourself.
I cut for a release, punishment etc and it did work and it was just one of my many problems, but now it's a major problem for me, because it's become habit and comforting.
If I had known just how bad it would become I wouldn't have began it at all
I'm agree with you razor its like smoking if you could go back and not do it not start it ... I wouldn't have . its like any addiction.
