I used to quite often, but haven't that much lately. I still get urges but it really isn't worth hiding parts of my body for 1- 1 1/2 weeks. Did not want partners, or the chance of a doctor seeing it. Not worth it.

If I do, I make sure it's something that will not leave any marks overnight. For me I just want the visual of it for a short time, not over a week.

Didn't vote as there wasn't a sometimes option.

I used to until early 20s. Never to the point of serious danger or anything like that. I still do but now it's 100% psychological.

so I wouldn't have to go to school (and have everyone gawk at me) because the bullying was so bad

I used to give myself allergic reactions and bust up my knees to bring on arthritis flareups for the same reason lol. For some reason I hated lying about my arthritis so I felt like I had to make it as bad as I was saying it was.

I've been in years-long remission since graduating. Only pops up when it's cold out. Nowhere near as bad as what a lot of people here go through on a daily basis. Thanks for the kindness though :hug:.

You're welcome. Glad to hear that it isn't too much for you to take, as I'm sure you have enough to deal with. :)

I add and/or reopen 30+ (30-200?) scars every few weeks.

Nope, I would but I'm afraid of cutting myself. The thought makes me queasy. Needless to say, I didn't last long in nursing school.
