Have you seen a therapist to help you with your depression?  
Self-injury usually indicates that somewhere during development that person didn't learn good ways of coping with overwhelming feelings or stress. They’re not sick or insane; they just never learned positive ways to deal with feelings and emotions for various reasons. Positive coping skills can be learned at any point in life. People who self-injure can learn to use new and healthier coping mechanisms. This process may take years to develop with the help of a skilled therapist familiar with this condition.  I hope you feel better.

cocoa butter and liquid vitamin e should help heal the scars.  You don't have to answer to anyone about the cuts on your hand.  Just tell them...I'd rather not talk about it.
