Answers:
I moved from cutting to burning and scalding and then on to others, eventually directing my pain at other people!. You may have changed methods because the last wasn't doing anything thing for you any more or wasn't improving the situation or making it go away!. Bottom line you are still self harming!. The fact you stopped is good!. The fact you started again with something else shows you still have an issue!.
Do you know why!? Do you want to stop or does self-harming solve it for you!? Self harming tends to be a strategy for dealing with an emotion!. You can learn other strategies which are less negative (ripping paper etc) or you can get support to help why you have the need to hurt yourself!.
I know situations where self-harming is positive (makes people feel alive so they don't commit suicide etc)!. Only mentioned that to illustrate that self harming is part of a process of learning/discovering yourself, exploring - developing!. It's a strategy for coping/surviving but not moving forward!.

yes! i havent done it for a while but i have big ugly scars from cutting myself really deep on the wrists 3 years ago, i havent done it since then but i feel like im going to do it again and im trying everything to stop it, but i just keep wanting to do it, its like a drug and im addicted to it, i stole a cigarette lighter from my mum the other day and i havent used it yet but i feel like im going to soon its so so hard but i do have depression which doesnt seem to go away, somtimes life is really unfair, i used to scratch myself on the wrist till i would bleedWww@Answer-Health@Com
Okay I am not going to be like 'don't do that'!. I use to cut myself for a long time!. I burned myself few times after I stopped cutting!. I would use a lighter and hold a pair of tweezers under the flame for awhile, then I'd hold it to my wrist!. It felt so different! It was like something was piercing my vein!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
