I don't know why I'm sad. I mean, I have newer scars, newer cuts that will turn to scars, but I'm actually SAD to see the old ones disappear. Anyone else feel this way?

A good tip is to buy Vitamin E oil (I think it's that anyway, try and check) and put it on marks that have just healed - it helps prevent scarring. Even if it still scars, it will be much fainter. smile Anyone here made any progress with stopping?

Stop while you're at the less harmful stage. That's my opinion anwyay, and what I'm tryhing to do. If you do more harmful things on a frequent basis, you can become addicted to the chemicals released when you're in pain. That's a physical addiction, like being addicted to nicotine, or cocaine.

Pulling hair is significantly more minor than cutting yourself to the point you need stitches. Which as a cutter, is not hard to do. So, I'd suggest trying to break that habit and not starting with any new ones.

Anything, yes anything, that you do to yourself to release emotion that leaves a mark for more than an hour is self-injury. So self-injury can be anything from picking the scabs off of existing injuries to cutting off one of your legs.
Virginangelic - I suggest just making sure you don't start cutting yourself to start with. It seems to be a disturbingly addictive form of self-injury. Once you know you're not going to do that or anything else, perhaps you can try to stop pulling out your hair? I think it's better and easier to move small steps at a time.
With myself, I'm getting scared of where I'm going to stop now. I swear that the other day if I had had something sharp with me I would have cut my left arm with it. THe problem is, I get the same sort of desire to jump out of windows. sweatdrop gonk

I used to self-harm. Mainly cut, but a lot of other s**t too that I won't get into - this being a public forum and I also don't want to give people ideas.
I think I've about done all of the ways one can self-harm, though. >.< Aren't I special?

The scars I have will never fade. I've had them for years now, and they haven't gone away...
I don't want to make them go away, either. *sighs*
