Crushed, I'm so sorry for the pain you're in. You don't need to carry those marks for life though.. please find other ways of expressing and coping. My best method is probably journaling. It doesn't exactly make me feel better but it's a way to get out all the feelings and frustration when there's nobody to listen. Other people swear by screaming someplace nobody can hear (hurts my vocal cords too much).
I have a few little scars from things I did as a 20-something, and as a halfway stable 40-something I'm just so glad I didn't damage myself worse. My cuticles are another matter! I'm not sure I'll ever be able to give up tearing them.
