Every day, I've been injuring myself. I have no idea why I wake up every day. Pain doesn't go away the way it used to when I hurt myself. It is never going to get better.

Please make sure to clean this, when you feel like you're able to. I know it really hurts right now, and it might even help for a small while, but trust me when I say that if those are not treated nicely it can hurt for days long.
I won't be an asshole and tell you to stop, because things don't work like this... but consider trying to take some time to yourself, try to do something you like, and treat yourself kindly, even if just pretending. And, even if you don't treat your wounds, wear anything clean that can cover it up. I found out for some reason that the wounds get inflected really easily if their exposed to the fresh air without being taken care of... I'm just reminding you so it hurts a bit less later.
If you need anything, feel free to PM me. I might not be so good giving advises, but I can do my best listening and sharing what I know.

I'm sorry you feel this way but I get you as long as self-harm is involved because I do the same, though now I'm trying to recover and use healthier coping mechanisms. Strangely, I also take photos when I self-harm, but I don't show those to anyone. Not that there's anything wrong with showing photos, I'm sharing so you can maybe relate. I'm also not going to encourage you to stop or seek help, this is not the place, but make sure to clean your wounds because they can get infected. And make sure you use clean tools. The chances of infection are small, the body is amazing at healing, but just to be on the safe side. Maybe use a bigger bandage for this one? Whatever you do, take care and I hope you can find peace no matter what you choose, life or death or self-harm.
I always clean my self harm scars. I use alcohol to clean them. I also hide my wounds since I don't want anyone to see them. I appreciate the guidance.Please make sure to clean this, when you feel like you're able to.

I've heard bags of frozen peas/ice cubes and rubber bands are used as "clean" alternatives to cutting, should you ever wish to try an alternative.

It's a great thing you do! I sometimes don't have the habit when it happens, and things always ended up pretty badly to me.. so learned the hard way. kinda.
And uh.. you probably know that already, but please be careful if anyone knows about this. It can turn into a real backfire and put you in a really shitty position, so... I'd hide them up until having any sort of support, if you plan/want to ever find any...
(I'm not sure why I'm citing this, I just recalled it's like as important just like to whom you'd decide to call before committing ctb)
