i feel the same way. i'm 30 years old, i've been cutting since i was 23. i feel like, i'm an adult, so i shouldn't be doing this, but i can't give it up. even when i don't cut, i pick. without some sort of pain/blood every day, i don't think i could make it through. sometimes i think about going to the mental health ward at the local hospital, but i'm scared to.

Hey, I'm 27 years old and I have beena cutter for 15 of them. I haven't cut for a few years. It's a struggle but you have to be strong, it's like a horrbile unhealthy drug addiction. It's what we do when we get upset and that's how we release our feelings. I still have the urge, especially when things go bad for me or perhaps I get really drunk and miserable and feel like it's a way out. But the thing is, I have a left arm that's covered in very deep and noticeable scars. I can nver wear tank tops without people asking me what happened to me. If you don't want to tell anyone, that is your choice since no one can make you. But I think of how bad my Grandma and my mother would miss me is I fucked up and cut too deep and then I don't do it. Why don't you just tell someone that you're depressed. They don't need to know that you cut yourself just that you need to talk about makes you upset
