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

deleted_user 11/09/2007

mostly my wrists or my arm. done my shoulder and my stomuch.

deleted_user 11/09/2007

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

deleted_user 11/09/2007

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

deleted_user 11/09/2007

i started cutting on the top of my leg, but now tend to stick to my arms, and the odd one on my stomache and wrists

deleted_user 11/09/2007

my thighs and side of knees. pretty easy to hide, convenient to get to.

deleted_user 11/09/2007

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.

deleted_user 11/09/2007

i cut my wrists not across but down.
i cut my thigh, and my feet and my arm and my stomache and the back of my neck

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.

deleted_user 11/09/2007

I will cut anywhere except my face cant hid the face, I dont have a lot to do with many people any more so it dont matter anymore

deleted_user 09/10/2008

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...

deleted_user 09/10/2008

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.

deleted_user 09/10/2008

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 have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
