I go on how I feel, If I am really mad and depressed then I do 4 cuts. If I am just mad at something I do 1. Just varies between how I feel. Sometimes more sometimes less.

I usually cut when I am upset - either angry or am trying to punish myself. I usually am not thinking to clearly, so I just cut impulsively. I use to be fine with 1 light cut... barely drawing blood... just needed to see that little bit of blood...lately it's getting worse & worse... even if I go back to hitting & trying to bruise myself, it's not the same... it doesn't help as much. Only hitting that helps now if I take a metal bar & hit myself in the head.

I do it when I'm upset/ having bad feelings etc... sometimes I put a band around my arm so the blood pooled and cut my wrists, other times I cut the tip of my fingers because it is easy to get a lot of blood in a small cut

i do hundreds on smaller cuts most of the time, i have counted a total of 400 cuts on my body at once before. usually i feel like i'm done when 1. i can actually feel the pain, and 2. when i have sufficiently covered the area where i was cutting. i can't just stop at 3 or 4, i can't even feel it yet by then.

I don't really have an amount, it's sort of however much I happen to feel I need. I always sit the same though, and I almost always use a paring knife, because it gives me the kind of cut I like best. I don't think I've ever done less than twenty cuts in a session. They're also always in straight rows of cuts.
