allthegirls...i understand where you are coming from. but try this, it might help...

as soon as you think of doing it - STOP. I know it doesnt seem that easy, but in reality, it is. stop thinking. just get up, without thinking, and go outside. once you're outside just walk. or run. no preparation, just getting out of wherever you are to clear your head. maybe grab a pad of paper and a pencil and sit somewhere quite and write write write.

as of now, i'm at about 4 months free of SI. the struggles are the worst part, the urges seem undeniable, but all i have to think about is how i'll feel tomorrow. i'd feel 10x worse than however i was feeling at the moment i wanted to cut, because i would have let myself down.

please reconsider using SI as a coping mechanism, and instead, come here and vent. we'll be happy to listen.
