why don't u try doing other things than cutting. for instance: get a bucket-a big bowl works too-and put a bunch of ice in it then fill it up with REALLY cold water-as cold as u can get it. then just dunk your hands in it really fast. see if the cold sensation burning feeling helps. i have found that coloring and playing with my cat helps to distract me. another thing to work on is your thinking. when cutting comes to mind try to replace those thought with something else. for example: if you are thinking " i must cut now!" replace it with something creative like"for my boyfriend i will do _______ for him this weekend. if this doesn't make sense pm me and i will explain it further. good luck.
