Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
TRUST the mental health professionals who are caring for you. They have had thousands of people through the hospital ward and decades of experience in knowing how to treat your illness. And it is an illness that fuels the desire to self-mutilate.
Having bipolar I know the medications work and that you have to stay on them or you'll wind up in crisis over and over with a never ending cycle.
You never said why you HATE the pills and perhaps should have done so in your question. Is it the side-effects, sluggishness or weird feelings, inability to focus, function etc? If so, that's your mistake right there for not telling the doctor.
Your dosage may need adjusting so it fits you right and you feel normal. This takes time. You have to speak up with the doctor and tell them the truth about the drugs and things not going well. They will help you but you have to work with and not against them to get there. It takes time and you have to hang in there.
It's dangerous for you to have stopped taking your medication without being told to by a doctor. I've seen this scenario so many times with people doing this and having a crisis scenario and revolving door into and out of hospital wards for not listening to or following doctor's instructions to stay well.
You MUST tell your parents what you have done with stopping medication on your own, that you want nothing more than to self-mutilate, obsessed with blood and know you're in trouble or headed for it again.
They have to take you to see the doctor who prescribed the medication and made the diagnosis to get you back on medication as you can't stop/start on your own. You may need to re-enter the hospital but it's for your own good, well-being and safety.
You have to work with these people when in and out of the hospital as a team to keep you well. Thus far you haven't done so and that's one of the reasons though there are others for repeated hospital stints. Do the right thing and get help and take the diagnosis and meds seriously and eventually you can put this behind you.

In the situation you have, I think it would be best for you to talk to someone you trust. If you can't talk to your parents about it, maybe a friend, or another family member. Whoever it may be, you need some help getting through this.
You didn't specify if you cut yourself out of depression, or just for the obssesion. If you have something going on that gives you the urge to cut yourself, then you need to talk with someone to relieve your depression.
If you do it because of pure obssesion, then I suggest you seek help immeadiatly. This is not a good "hobby" to have.
Whatever the situation may be, you need to find a trusted person to talk to, so you can get through this. Cutting is never good, and can cause serious problems for you in the end. You could have a lot of bleeding if you cut yourself too much, or you cut a vein. Also, cutting can leave you with a lot of ugly scars that you won't be able to hide.
So I hope my advice help with your problem... Good luck, and TAKE YOUR PILLS! :)
