I was also a "cutter." I first started cutting during my first year of university. I was able to stop on my own, but it was extremely difficult. I began cutting again during my third year of university. I was having a very difficult time, indulging in other forms of self-harm, and finally sought help.
A substitution that worked well for me was sticking my hand in a bucket of ice water. It hurts, but leaves no scars, and is much safer. If you feel like cutting, do this until your urge to cut has passed
Although, with that said, I encourage you to seek help. I wish you the best.
