Mostly cutting with a razor or with a sharp butcher knife. I've tried burning a few times, but it isn't as good because there's no blood. I used to do scratching, and sometimes pinching.
Cutting...I hit myself on stuff sometimes, I've kicked through glass to see what it would do and make it seem like an accident...when I was little I would climb up on top of really tall stuff and jump off.
The main thing I do is burn myself with matches or the metal top of lighters. I also cut myself with razor blades once in a while. When there are other people around or no other "tools" I scratch the same place on my arms until there is no skin and they bleed. I have also hit myself--that's what I first did...\nhitting myself with belts and other things, as well as just punching or smacking myself.
Mostly I use the serrated blade on my pocket knife. Or the regular one. I haven't used razors, yet. I started last year with taking a push pin and digging it along my wrist, but that's not so effective anymore. When I'm at school I use my pen cap or my nails or whatever and scratch, my wrist, the back of my hand, whatever I can.
I usually cut with a blade I took off of a pencil sharpener, sometimes glass, and sometimes pins. If i feel like I need to cut in school i'll take my compus from my geometry kit and go to the washroom and cut or use my nails or teeth. Sometimes when i'm really frustrated I'll pierce my skin all the way through (like my ears) with a saftey pin.
My main method right now is cutting. But I still at times 'saw' with a comb, or I scratch/hit.
I never let wounds heal, and I scratch myself with needles (I sew a lot), safety pins (some safety!), and push pins.
I cut and burn mostly and sometimes I pull my hair out a couple of strands at a time.
Mainly cutting, although I do all three [cutting, burning, hitting]. I do the nail thing too. I dig them into my skin.
My main way is using my fists to beat my thighs with as much force and hatred until my arms are literally too tired to continue. I used to actually use my fists to beat my forehead when I was much younger. Thank God I realized how all too easy I could have caused brain damage to myself!! I also bite my fingernails down to the quick and in fact I use a nail clipper to rip pieces of skin from my finger tips as well.
