What do you use to self-harm?
I don't know if we're allowed to say, plus I don't want to give anyone any ideas.
Where do you self-harm (in your house)?
Usually on my bed, but if I know I'm going to do a lot, I go in the bathroom so I can clean up more easily.
Where do you self-harm (on your body)?
Mostly my legs, but sometimes my stomach and hips.
How often do you self-harm?
It varies a lot. Right now, I'm trying to stop, so it's been almost two weeks. When it was at it's worst, it was almost every day, but now, it's about 5-10 days between each time.
How much do you self-harm (e.g. number of cuts)?
That really depends. If I do really shallow ones, I do quite a few at once (25-50ish). With medium depth ones it's more like 10-30, and with deep ones, I'll only do a few. (I'm sorry if this is too triggering, feel free to remove it if it is.)
What time of day do you usually self-harm?
It's usually evening/night.
Where do you keep the things you use to self-harm?
I have a drawer with my self-harm tools and bandaids, gauze, neosporin, etc.
Have you ever had to go to hospital/got an infected wound/needed help afterwards?
I've never gone to the hospital for my self harm, but I've definitely had cuts that I should have gotten stitches for. I've had infected cuts, but nothing that I couldn't deal with on my own.
