I started when i was like 12 and now i just can't stop, its so addictive. When i started my parents saw, and i asked them to let me see therapist and they told me they are not deep enough and that i don't have any actuall problemy. (I started only with geometry compass, so they werent deep but there were lots of them, my both arm fully covered)
About two months ago, i started with knife, trying to get deeper. Its much more satisfying for me, i also love how it looks. I sometimes wish for them to leave a scar so i have little reminder of that in future, if there will be any. Its nkt that deep like others here show, but i think its mild styro or bad cat scratches, i'm not really sure.
There are some times, when i do it because of anger, or other issues, but sometimes i just do it, because of how it looks and because i want scar and than i hate myself. I also want somebody to notice, to help me and to talk with me and hug me to tell me it will be okay. Also, my parents both think i stoped after the talk when i was 12, and i don't think they are supportive about this.
So thats my little stupid vent, id be surprised if anybody read this whole thing. Also, english is not my first language so i'm sorry if there are mistakes
