Yes, but no I like having the cuts there to see how "good" I did for the day, so I don't bandage them or hide them much. Sometimes people notice but nobody really asks about them. I stopped cutting for a while and then started again a week or two ago and I should probably stop but I don't see why I should?

No, never did or would even consider cutting myself. You can seriously hurt yourself doing that, and then everyone will ask you, what happened? when they see cuts on you. Some might know and not even ask. I think it would worsen anxiety if anything, theres really no benefit from it.

Never have I tried cutting myself.

Having cuts scares me. I cut my hand on glass and freaked out. I was afraid I would need stitches. Fortunately, I didn't. It's frightening to me.
