I got to that point a few times, getting out of the habit was the best thing to do.
Quitting cutting was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I have had a few relapses but very minor and finding I do not get the same feeling so its just not worth it anymore.

I think I really could quit today if I wanted to, I just don't think I want to yet. But I may have to if this progressive need keeps up.

Too much tolerance can be really dangerous with cutting (speaking as someone who dealt with the addiction piece of it and nearly died twice because my tolerance became too high. Though I have found that unlike drug or alcohol addiction, I can return to it with more control years later. Not recommended or suggested however).

I have tried of course the leg, breast, feet, toe, upper arm, thigh, private area, each of my fingers on one hand, and then a few random scratches in places. Most don't bleed enough or satisfy me. I guess it could be time to find a new coping skill except...1) I don't know when i'm coping or if i'm bored and 2) what else is there to do?
