• Where do you self-harm (in your house)?

usually sat on my sofa, or in the bath

• Where do you self-harm (on your body)?

legs, arms, stomach, chest, have done my face, also I overdose as self harm, so internal organs

• How often do you self-harm?

It depends on my mood, sometimes I self harm every day, sometimes I can go for months without it (I'm now 6 weeks free)

• How much do you self-harm (e.g. number of cuts)?

Usually I'll do around 10 up to 50 cuts in a session, 3 or 4 burns, overdoses depend on how much I have around, stabbing, usually once or twice, hitting I will do usually around 20 times

• What time of day do you usually self-harm?

usually in the evening, when it gets quiet and there's nothing to distract me. Alternatively, I will sometimes cut in the morning before work, to calm me down.

• Where do you keep the things you use to self-harm?

In a fake book on my bookcase

• Have you ever had to go to hospital/got an infected wound/needed help afterwards?

yes, quite a few times I've had to have stitches, x-rays and treatment for overdoses and have also had to be seen by specialist burns nurses.
