last night i was really depressed i got hammered and cut my arms enough that scars will be left.
It's not something I'd usually do, I'm ashamed of myself for doing such a thing.
is there any way to get rid of scars?

Plastic surgery? I would be more interested in finding out why I did it and how I can solve the mental issues if I were you.

I've been there... Many times without remembering...I have lots of scars. Skin brushing is supposed to help cell renewal in your skin, so you might try that, or vitamen -e oil.
This is why getting drunk is very, very dangerous when you are depressed. I would avoid alcohol if I were you. Personally, I stay far away from alcohol now because even if I am in a positive frame of mind, I will inevitably get bummed out with a few drinks in me and start thinking self-destructive thoughts.
Take care...

no, no drugs.
I'm pretty adamant about taking psychiatric drugs because of the side effects i get from them, i did take mirtazipine(remeron) once though and it kind of help with my depression, mostly because it helped me sleep.
I tried zoloft once and just after i took it i felt suicidal/violent/sick, it was horrible so i didn't take it again.
I'm kind of considering taking mirtazipine again because I'm getting worse i think but i really don't like having to take meds.

did you take zoloft for longer than a month? I felt like an absolute wreck the first month, but once my body adjusted to it I actually felt really good.

Its the user...not the alcohol. If the user is depressed, they shouldn't use alcohol, it will make them more depressed. It tends to do that...intensifies emotions. Its up to the user to not use it if they are in a bad mood.
-------------------- "If we could sniff or swallow something that would, for five or six hours each day, abolish our solitude as individuals, atone us with our fellows in a glowing exaltation of affection and make life in all its aspects seem not only worth living, but divinely beautiful and significant, and if this heavenly, world-transfiguring drug were of such a kind that we could wake up next morning with a clear head and an undamaged constitution - then, it seems to me, all our problems (and not merely the one small problem of discovering a novel pleasure) would be wholly solved and earth would become paradise." - Aldous Huxley GIVE ME OPIATES OR GIVE ME DEATH

alcohol doesn't suck, people who don't know how to use it properly are what sucks.
alchohol didn't make the OP cut thier arms, being depressed did.

my best friend was a cutter. i never understood it. (i liked to break shit and smash my head into things.) we are older now and he admits a lot of it is about attention, but there's also drowning the oblivion of depression with pain that i can understand.
if your depressed try exercising. it will suck for the first week or two, but when it kicks in you'll wonder why you never did it before. and more reliable than medicating yourself.
stop drinking if your losing control of yourself. you are obviously not mature enough or emotionally stable to drink if you are harming yourself.
if you must resort to drugs, i did a stint on cymbalta for a year, worked like a charm, but i got off them cause i didn't want to be dependent on meds forever.

i see TONS of things advertised on the television for scar remover.
i'd say run down to CVS or Walgreens or something and have a look around. i'm sure you'll find something that can help. if not, you might want to go see a dermatologist or something? they're like skin doctors.. seems like they could help you out..
or maybe just a doctor.
but really, i do see a lot of stuff advertised for scar remover. a few i've actually heard work.
*edit: and i do agree that you should try to monitor/control your actions while under the influence and definitally know your limits. don't drink so much if you're going to be destructive. maybe even quit.
