the way you cut yourself

	What do you use? How and where do you cut yourself? How long/deep are the cuts? Just curious about how others do it. I use a file blade from those huge cutters that people use for cutting paper and wood and stuff. I cut mostly in my forearms because it's a convenient location and it seems to bleed a lot there. I tried upper arms and legs before but I like the arms the best, they're the most tender. My cuts aren't that long, they have never been longer than 4 inches, not that deep either, just about 1~3 mm deep

	I use the standard razor, as its was convenient, i do it on the front of my left shoulder, or on my right thigh. Length and depth of them are usually down to how i feel at the time, but are never too severe.

	Fatality: What is a standard razor? Is it a shaving razor or something similar? Where do you get it? My file is not as convenient as I would like because it has no handle or cover to put on when not in use. (like to keep the blade sharp)

	Yeah, a shaving razor, my dad had a pack of disposables, now I have my own pack.

	I started with taking the blades out of pencil sharpeners, now I use disposable razor blades. I cut on the outside part of my hip/upper thigh, that area is rarely seen, and can be covered easily... The deepness depends.

	scissors dont work for me, the ones I have are pretty blunt and have bits of tape on them

	but they are easy to come by and have handles. easy to control how much you cut, some aren't too sharp though. why do you cut yourself? is it to forget other troubles, to feel alive, attention?

	I use a shaving razor. They tend to be 1 to 2 inches, and really not that deep...For the longest time, I cut on my right forearm but after being caught way to much, I moved it to my thighs. I don't like them anyways, so no one is going to see them >>;; Once or twice I also tried on my stomach, and at one point, the inside of my mouth(obviously no one sees that really, it heals quickly, and...I just like the taste of blood so yeah)

	henrietta: I cut for many reasons, sometimes it is to forget and get away from life, sometimes it is the opposite, to feel alive. Sometimes I'm just bored. Sometimes I don't even know why. Saki: Do they do periodical checks? I tried to cut my stomach once, but seeing the fat only made me feel worse, lol. Inside of the mouth.. hmm very creative, I have never thought of that, must try.

	Fantasy: No, my parents didn't. They just watch for if I'm wearing long sleeves. I have 1 or 2 friends that check my arms though.. Thats the thing. I carved the word "fat" in all caps on my stomach o.o the scar is still there.. You can try if you really wish. It tends to be less damaging then cuts in other places. Just don't over-do it, kay?

	sharpener blades, safety razors, knifes anything at hand really... and um used to on my arms but after stopping cutting and removing my sweatband ppl see it too much and ask too many questions about my scars now so my hip or legs or my lip since it heals so fast and i can just cover with lipstick or summink xX

	anonymous user. You are not justified. You are not wanted here. You've never been where we have. You've probably got an ego the size of a bowling ball you reptile f---. I cut on my upper left arm. I use a fine exacto knife, but I just moved and I forgot it :( I also did cigarette burns, those were nice for a while, but just too weak in the end.
