Yeah.
Have you tried to do other things instead when you feel like cutting?
One thing that I was told to do instead was to hold an ice-cube in my hand until it had melted into nothing (or until the urge to cut went away). It starts out cold - but after a while it hurts. It was supposed to help because the intense feeling of pain was supposed to help distract me from the emotional pain in the same way that cutting did.
Do you think you could give it a try?
