so i really want to do this picture, but i constantly want to cut
like every day.

You could stop cutting so you don't have to put any more scars on it. :) Then you wouldn't have to worry.

Rex, wow. It's hard to follow simple, accurate advice.

I think what you might do is take that mannequin and put on your clothes. Make it look like you, very pretty. Keep it there as a reminder of what you are (sorta): Pretty and perfect, no cuts, not damages. Maybe it'll be a reminder to you to help you control the urge to cut. You want to be as perfect as that mannequin. It should be an ideal for you, something you strive for and something that helps you stay focused on the goal.

I sure hope you've got someone, some adult, preferably a professional, that you're talking to about this. They can help you deal with those urges and behaviors in ways so you, like that mannequin, remain perfect.
