I personally don’t think you deserve any of your cuts, not one. Cutting means different things for different people… you have your reasons… regardless of your reasons you definitely don’t *deserve* them; it is one of your coping mechanisms for reasons unknown to me.
I personally don’t cut… I have however self-injured (long story) so I can’t relate to you 100%. I’ve heard that an alternative to cutting is putting an elastic band around your wrists (for example) and snapping it whenever you feel the urge to cut. There are other ways but this is the one that comes to mind.
You have things going on…. you are loved. Hang in there and feel free to vent here.

You deserve nothing but love and happiness, and anyone who says otherwise is lying to you.

I can vouch for the rubber band idea, it helped me a lot.
