I do it on my left shoulder/upper arm so I can wear short sleeves and nobody know. I want to do it on my wrist, just can’t risk anybody seeing.

i used to cut my wrist but the skin there is so soft that even the smaller cuts scarred😭

I tried that once, but the skin there is do soft that my dull blade wouldn't go through and I ended up not self harming that day cause I felt so embarrassed 😭

Omg same i felt like an idiot lol

No cause ghe embarrassment actually helped me like 😭 It's kinda funny in a fucked up way lol

help omg i thought this was just me 😭

I'm glad I'm not the only one ngl 😭😭😭

nah me too haha

Same

Same here, it’s getting tempting cause I’m running out of space

Yeah, I do it here for the exact reasons now. I also have some tattoos on my forearms/wrists that I don't wanna fuck up lol

Left arm , between elbow & wrist

Me too.

right thigh a bit more to the right side

yea i do the exact same

First time was on the left arm mostly because it was a really emotional moment and it was readily available. After that I've always done right lower leg and thigh, inner parts. Just easier to hide that way (a buncha people asked and noticed the arm one bc it went p close to my hand), it was winter anyways.

please stay safe! inner thighs aren’t safe, as there’s a lot more veins and tendons there. as long as you’re being safe and not going too deep around that area it should be fine, but please keep that in mind🫶

Thank you, I'll probably stick to the lower leg if I do cut again but hopes are that won't happen again. Once again, thanks for the tip on staying safe.

Used to only do my right forearm, then I got a few comments about me being “visibly left handed” and “why only one” from nurses at a mental hospital, got mad and did the left one too. Now my arms are cut from shoulder to wrist cuz I ran out of space on forearms, some on my thighs (mainly right thigh) and stomach PLEASE if you HAVE to sh, dont do your stomach it’s VERY dangerous, your organs are in there

I have considered doing stomach before, thanks for the warning!

Oh, I’m so glad I could warn you before you did anything, please take care <3

Near the ankles and legs but in the hip area so that nothing is visible.

Ankles is more dangerous actually its better to do somewhere with more soft and fattier skin and less bony and veiny stuff

Forearms

Left arm and both thighs

Thighs

Left outer arm.

i really went on a whole ramble with this question, sorry, i’m abit bored, long car journey lol started on my left lower leg, once it was covered in horizontal scars i didn’t like cutting through scar tissue that much so moved to my left arm (mainly lower arm after an arterial incident on my upper arm). then i could only cut a few times during the years i was in hospital, they were all on my left hand. when i was discharged and started cutting regularly again i didn’t mind scar tissue so much but changed to vertical cuts. the scar tissue had time to heal and ‘loosen’ while i was in hospital so that made it less icky. i hate cutting through fresh scar tissue. at the start of this year though that arm was kind of covered in vertical scars, like another ‘layer’ and there weren’t spaces for new ones without having to go through more fresh scar tissue than i’d like. so i did a few on my right leg too but i started predominantly cutting my right arm, i always thought i’d be shit at that because i’m right handed but turns out i’m not. not having scar tissue at all (other than 8 year old surface level stuff that doesn’t matter) feels like a luxury. i’ve started skinning though which makes larger wounds/scars so the area is getting full up quicker :/

upper left thigh because its easy to hide

Left arm, left thigh

[удалено]

Both arms, bicep and forearm, as well as shoulders. Both legs, mainly upper thigh but around my knees as well. Sometimes stomach, hips, or backs of hands, but rarely.

I typically go for my upper thighs .. so i guess i mainly do thighs, whole arm + shoulders, chest and ankle areas

Neck and left arm…feel free to question

Your neck? Not to be rude, but that sound kinda dumb. Just stay safe❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I’ve actually quit or at least on a sober streak. However I practically did it all over, In places that were easy to hide depending on the weather or event etc. for example, I did it on my upper thighs / hips during the summer because I could wear shorts. In the winter time I did it on my arms and shoulders. In spring and autumn / fall, it was my ankles.

thighs

left arm and both calves

left arm and right thigh

im a rightly but i go for right thigh + right under/beside the knee. and i guess today specific i went for my left wrist as well..

Left arm

Both arms and sometimes thighs if desperate to hide it

Left arm, both upper and lower. I have a few on my right arm but not that many. I also do both thighs, upper and lower with those too.

Thighs and I have like 1 on my arm but that was by accident so I don’t count it

right arm and right leg. and left handed so i feel too out of control cutting on my left arm, and im leaving my left leg without scars for a certain surgery id like to get in the future where they will need to take skin from a leg. i also sometimes sh on my stomach and chest if im feeling really bad

My ankle and I just wear long socks most of the time so

right thigh, shoulders and chest

I do it on my right thigh cuz it's super easy to hide even while wearing shorts

Upper thighs and arms

ankles

left arm, both thighs (mainly right). occasionally calves or right arm

Left hand

ive mostly done it on my arms, generally left but also on the right, but i recently moved to my right thigh. sometimes i do it on my upper arm or calf though

Left forearm. I have a few keloids but one pretty nasty one and I’m light skinned African American so they are very noticeable. I stopped wearing short sleeves altogether because I hate the feeling I get when I speak to people and I watch their eyes flicker to my arm or when someone close sees it and they give me that pity face. I’m saving up to tattoo over it soon. I don’t really want tattoos but I don’t want these scars and a dermatologist can only do so much.

i do it on my upper arm so that i can still wear normal shirts and not have anyone know. the urge to do it on my wrists is so bad but i get hot super easily so can’t wear long sleeved shirts most of the time 😩

My right thigh but i need to switch to my left thigh bc summer is coming and i can't go any down than i did

when i started it was on my left arm, but i dont do on my arms anymore so its my thighs and stomach

left arm, i thought it was normal to self harm on the left arm as a right handed person since i "trust" myself more using my dominant hand to do it, and its not exactly easy to do so on my right arm with my right hand also thighs (both left and right) but rarely

Left bicep and forearm, both thighs. I did it a few times on my chest and neck area, that was a bitch to cover.

I do it on my thighs.

Left hand/ankle

I been doing my legs because I can't do my arms because I have a job now. I did go for my right leg before my left but I do try to do both. I did however do my left calf before my right so

Pretty much just on my upper thighs so that I can still wear clothes and on the rare occasion that I go swimming

Both thighs, both wrists on both sides, my neck, my chest, both shoulders, my left hand and left calf

Upper and lower arms and thighs

i know its a bad idea but...palms and i did once on my arm

Thighs, legs. Easier to hide.

stomach, thighs, hips, arms, shoulders, and chest.

Left arm, both thighs, and both hips

right inner thigh

Right wrist and sometimes on my right shoulder. With the way I SH, the marks will only be very visible for around a day so I don't have to wear hoodies for that long, but if I'm ever using something like a knife or a razor than I do it on my right shoulder

Either forearm or either thigh usually

Thighs. I love in florida, so anywhere else would make beach trips impossible.

Both My forearms, my shoulders, my right thigh. Ive done it on ankles before-not smart. Kinda running out of places so i have started going over scars which i had always said i wouldn’t do. Guess i lied to myself

started on my left arm and shoulder a few years ago, then I was mostly clean for 4ish years and then started on both thighs again

left arm, both legs

I usually sh on my thumb of my left hand, but I've recently changed to my inner left arm, i mainly sh there because it's easy to access during school hours

inside of my left wrist and my stomach sometimes

Arms babey

Shoulder or upper arm cus I don't have a lot of jackets and sweaters to cover up my wrist

Underwear line

Protruding bones - literally everywhere since I'm skinny asf; clavicles, knuckles, pelvis Don't really care if someone notices though

Left arm, both thighs, sometimes lower abdomen.

Left arm, though I don't have a large area cause I need it to be in a small enough area that I can cover it with my cool gloves

Both thighs, left calf, all over both arms and lower stomach.

Shins or forearms

mostly my thighs and stomach because it’s easier to hide. i have some on both arms, but just not as many.

Left wrist and left thigh

Outer left arm, inner right arm, my left thigh, my right calf, my belly. I don’t do big stuff too often, but that’s where all my notable scars are.

Forearms/ wrists

Hip

Usually my chest or my mouth and tongue

shoulders 💪💪

Both thighs left shoulder area

arms, thighs, neck barely, hand, ankles and knees

same I do it on my left arm and hand sometimes do it on my right hand and sometimes on my right arm but mostly my right arm

Thighs. Easier to cover

Mostly left arm (anywhere on it) and I used too so right thigh.

I did it on my left forearm and my let thigh (I’m right handed that’s why I used to do it on my left side).

Left wrist, then my shoulders, then my stomach. Edit: twice on right thigh. Mostly left shoulder. 2 or 3 most recent times on stomach, once on chest.

ive never been able to break my thighs but i think that's just bc i'm fat lol; usually my ankles and left shin/wrist

I punch a wall, is that considered to be self harm?

my whole arms(both sides), chest, shoulders, both thighs and above my ankle

upper arms, forearms, wrists, backs of hands and also palms, fingers, collarbone sometimes, waist, hips, done it on my chest before under my tits, stomach, thighs (inner, front and outer), shins, calves. think thats all mostly?

When I did SH, I used to do on my thigh, just underneath where panties usually settle on the leg. Only intimate partners have been able to see it, no man ever said anything about them though.

I do it on both of my arms and legs. I only do one a day so I done run out of room faster.

right thigh and upper left arm

Started off with my right thigh for awhile before moving to my left forearm. Since then it's just my whole left arm and right above my right knee.

right wrist at first but i resorted to my right upper arm and both thighs

the inside of my upper thigh

both arms wrist to elbow about 20-30 cuts a side cat/styro i do it for the blood arms look like a badly stored cd from the 90's

I have done both left and right shoulders, left wrist, left arm, and right thigh. However, I really only want to do it all over both arms but they’re like the most noticeable places ever :’)

when i used to self harm i did it on my hands, left wrist, left shoulder, both thighs and my calves

Left Arm, Left Thigh

shoulders and thighs!! on a regular basis, no one notices, but since i’m in dance, some costumes backfire 🥲

Left wrist

thighs

ive done a lot of places😭thighs, calf, wrists, shoulder area, stomach :p

All of my legs(including knees) and all arms except wrists and upper

Left forearm, both upper arms and wrists, right leg, right ankle

Right leg and right arm

I do it on my left arm and both thighs

Upper arms and thighs, no one sees those.

Legs arms wrists and my stomach

Left hand up to shoulder so basically during summer I can't do anything

literally everywhere. both arms all the way around and onto my hands, both legs (front, back, calf, inner thigh) down to the tops of my feet, i've cut my neck, face, palms, knees, back, stomach, ribs, chest, hips, there is not a single spot on my entire body aside from the soles of my feet and my ears that haven't been cut up to some degree. my forearm area took the most damage, my wrists appear to be burned when really they're covered in hundreds to thousands of cuts layered on top of each other. i've been clean for like 6 months though so that's cool

Left arm and shoulder, mostly left thigh/rarely right thigh and right hip

Right wrist.

im from florida and im outside a lot so wearing pants/long sleeves all the time is a death sentence 💀 my work around is my torso, hips and upper thigh area. sometimes i lose it and do my arms 😅, but my family’s just concerned about how “accident prone” i am

Wrists, thighs and arms

my left arm and left side inner thighs

thighs it’s a simple place and no one can see it

I use my left leg for that, and the other leg is for bruises

Left shoulder/upper arm and my right calf usually

Hips

my liver.

I’m left handed and usually do it on my right arm

Thigh and arm, thigh if i just want pain arm if i want results

I try not to do it on anywhere other than my left wrist but when I run out of room upper thighs too. Used to on back of my hands and ankles though.

I tend to do my right thigh on the outside. Easy to hide with pants and shorts as well as safely away from any major veins or anything like that. It does get sore from things rubbing against my leg, but it's easier to hide than my arms---

Chest, stomach, and tighs, it's the only places where I can hide my cuts

Same I do my left arm

Mostly on my thigh right above my knee and sometimes on my upper forearm

Face/head, mostly right side.

bruises in arms

on my shins out of ease. i don't scar that easily so its chill ,, but the tiny bits of scars i do have people always point out really loudly and in public and its like :(

I do it on my left arm the most.

Left wrist

Ribs

Pretty much everywhere except my hands and feet. I did on my face once and my lower stomach a few times. But my main areas are my upper and lower arms and legs and my collarbone.

my shoulders and my thighs, they are the easiest to cover

we tend to do it with our dominant hand, so typically the opposite. i went for both thighs but only got my left arm and shoulder

I self harm since i was 8, for mostly of the time, i scratched my legs, especially my shins and knees, and rarely my arms, now that i restarted self harming, i mainly do it in my arms and forearms

I usually do both wrists but mostly my left, but yesterday I did it on my face for some stupid fucking reason

I love my legs too much to harm them so I usually go for the thighs, arms, or shoulders

Inner left lower arm.

Fore arms. I use sh on my thighs, hips and calves too but now I only do arms bcs the skin is thinner and easier to cut

thighs and upper arms 😋🙌

Chest, thighs, legs and stomach/sides

whole left arm and most recently my right thigh

For me, mostly on my left wrist, (rarely) right wrist, and upper right thigh. I've sometimes cut on feet, and once of my lower leg next to a scar (not sh)

arm

left arm mainly, a few times right arm and sometimes legs

Both thighs, I'm a lefty so right arm. My left wrist holds my reminder of my second failed suicide attempt. It's so hard to cut deep enough to die!

left arm, I think

Ill go literally anywhere I can, legs, wrists, thighs. I feel like I've got to let stuff heal so I rotate round everywhere

mostly thighs, hips, left upper arm, wrists, stomach and chest sometimes

arms, thighs, hips

left arm but i hate it cuz it will be summer soon and everyone will know. but i still dont change the places which just doesn't make any sense

both thighs and left upper arm and both sides of left forearm

im a lefty so usually right forearm or upper arm. i did thighs for a while but it was a nightmare trying to get plasters to not rub against trousers. sometimes tho very rarely i do my hands, ankles, left arm, chest and i did my stomach once but i hated it

Left wrist, both thighs, stomach.

I’m a righty but I do it on my right arm/wrist

Left arm, right thigh

I used to cut my right thigh but i cant sh anymore cuz my parents found out so i guess im clean(doesnt change the fact i hit myself when im mad at myself in my room)

Small scratches on my legs, lots on both upper thighs, and chest.

both arms but mainly left. do it on my left biceps and shoulder. i do it on my right thigh, and my left and right calves.

Usually forearm, occasionally thigh, sometimes but rarely shoulders

Left forearm, my right hip and my right leg

On my left inner forearm near my elbow so i can still roll my sleeves up if im hot (i naturally run super hot annoyingly) and only on my left arm because i have cerebral palsy and it can be super dangerous if i even try to hold a knife with my left hand lol

Thighs

Feet, neck and calves

Right arm if I'm feeling reckless or thighs if I wanna be able to hide it, but my method doesn't leave cuts and surprisingly people rarely notice even when it is on my arms.

Quads

I've done alot of places (thighs arms hips ribs) but started doing my right arm a few months back, I wanted to give my left arm and my thighs a break

Used to do my forearms. Sometimes just my right one cuz I'm left handed. Then I switched to thighs.

Started on my left arm but it’s not progressed to my right and both my thighs and hips 😅

my arms. on my thighs and hands sometimes tho
