upset over scar depth?

22(f). ive been self harming for 10 years now and its gotten better and easier over the years so I hadnt been cutting much at all and I was super proud of myself. however i recently went through a very traumatic event that has caused me to get into it more regularly, and so ive been doing it more to cope. i used to be able to cut deep and most of my scars are at least styros and lately I find myself getting super angry when all I accomplish is cat scratches no matter how hard I press or try. I was wondering if anyone else feels this way. sometimes I want to get deeper cuts because they last longer and I can take care of them more. ive been so frustrated and then it makes me want to do it again to see if I can go deeper. anyone have some advice on how to control my frustrations?
