Out of curiosity...?

On average, how many cuts does a self harmer usually make in a 'session' of cutting? it's just that last night i made nine cuts (yes i know, failure as i'm trying to stop), most didn't even bleed, so was this extreme? (and yes i know that really all self harm is extreme.) just wondering...

ryan - why did i admit it? coz unless you've missed all my other questions and answers it's obvious anyway. and also, coz it's part of me. i am ashamed of it, but i'm sick of hiding everything, and i think people should be more aware of it - taboo makes the problem worse.

Hey xhollyx182 - that's really good. i'm now keeping count of how many days i can last. before those cuts i had reached 10 days. getting somewhere i spose, though i wasn't so low over that time, which is probably why.

Self harm feels like the only way of knowing youre alive to watch yourself bleed, some people only need to do one to release the tension their feeling. Others can cut themselves 30 or 40 times, it all depends on personally how a person is feeling
