Where Do You Cut?

deleted_user

I cut only on my butt and between my legs between my testicles and my anus. I hate to be so descriptive...but that is the truth. I have to see the blood on my inner thighs...anywhere else does not matter. And cutting there no body sees but me. And I don't always have to cut - just a good jab to see blood flow.

Anyone else like me?

FYI - The first time I ever saw blood on my thigh was when my brother raped me for the first time. I was so scared...but so fascinated by it. And I have had to repeat that ever since...well, for 35 years anyhow. I have not cut for nearly 9 months...but the urge is alwasy there.

I usually cut the top of my thighs... if I am freaking & desparate, I have cut my wrists (tracing veins to see how close I can come to them). I only cut that area (tho female) once. I bled big time...scared me.

i used 2 cut my wrists and then people saw them so i now cut my thighs it has made me stop a bit tho cause they aren't as accessable and they do hurt more and get less blood

I mostly cut on my forearms. I have tried other places and I didn't like it as much..

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 cut mostly on my thighs, it's easier to control and there's more space, plus it's the easiest to hide. I've also cut my hips and on my torso a bit.

I cut pretty much anywhere, if the scars were sparsed out they were easier to hide, but then I gave up and focused on cutting my arm.

I cut on my hips because no one else will see but now im worried about what to do if a bf ever sees. but i guess i'll just wait until i trust the boy enough to tell him about my cutting to let him go below the waist. haha we'll see how that goes considering i dont trust guys...
and occasionally on my forearms but its harder to hide and i have to come up with an excuse
and occassionally my tummy but its been summer...

i used to cut on my wrists, ankles, and thighs a long time ago, but i've since moved to the bottoms of my feet. though the skin is harder to get through, the cuts seem to last longer. plus, you get a little pain every time that you step...it's an extra perk. sometimes if i get to feeling bad, i'll just walk around instead of cutting again, because the cuts that are already there hurt a good bit all on their own.

i used to cut all over where i could now i hide it on my wrists by wearing long sleeves always in summer it's harder to hide so i go for my legs and thighs have you got counselling?

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
