Hi,
I'm a self injerer too - I dont know how much you know about techniques to stop you harming so badly. The icecube technique is a good one, especially if you put red food colouring in the water so it looks like blood. You could also try snapping an elastic band against your wrist or using hot wax. I know these are still forms of self injury, but they are much less harmful to you if you have to do it - and they dont scar.
Whatever you do do, take care of your injuries so they dont get infected or leave you with permenant damage. There is a website with some really good infor at www.psyke.com
Take care of yourself and let us know you are ok,
_me x
