Discussion random question for people who self harm: how many times do you usually do it in one session?

[coolgal82]

just asking out of random curiosity, but like whatever your preffered method of sh is whether it be cutting or burning or whatever, how many times do you do thst in one session? myself i prefer to cut and i usually do like about 4-10 per session but theyre usually somewhat small. also bonus questions, how long have you been doing it for and do you want to/plan to stop? i've been doing it for idk how long now maybe 2-3 years and i have 0 plans of stopping as i find it beneficial to me
(also bonus bonus question, how the fuck do you make the scars stop itching ive tried multiple things and theyre still so fucking itchy)

It cut for now and I don't do it too many times in 1 session, around 5-10 cuts depending on how much clean up I wanna deal with

how long have you been doing it for and do you want to/plan to stop?

I'm not sure, I have no time frame in my head but maybe a year?? I don't really plan on stopping any time soon

I haven't figured anything out besides excessive moisturizing. Scars just itch like a bitch :/

Mostly a cutter but I SH in other ways sometimes. The answer for me is, "numerous". When I start I just want to keep going, and going, and going. It's just unfortunate that I can't, I have to reign it in as best I can.

I've self-harmed basically my whole life, but for cutting specifically I think it's been maybe ~15 years? I don't plan on stopping, ever
