I used to cut myself from the age of around 14 to 18. I have stopped, but it was a big part of my life for a while. I never did it in order to kill myself; in fact, I always avoided areas of my body which I felt would be more easy to have "accidents" on -- like my wrists. But now I have a lot of scars all over my arms, including some huge ones on my upper left arm. It took me years before I had the courage to wear t-shirts, and even now I won't wear them in front of my family. I still struggle with the urge to do it, but I have a very supportive SO who has been throught the same thing, so it's not too much of a hassle for me.
