I work at a Goodwill. We have about 150 packs of 5 razor blades on the sales floor, along with about 200 brand new scissors. Every time I walk past it, I NEED to cut. I get really upset and it drains all of my energy NOT to do it. It's getting really hard to work there.

Oh man, that's as bad as temptation could get. You're safety is the most important thing.

Just remember that feelings are only temporary.
What you feel now WILL go away.

You are really strong willed! And you should be proud of how well you've been resisting, don't let it win.
You have my admiration

Wow....I feel this way a lot too ! Whenever I feel hurt I carry around my razor blades....they comfort me somehow. They are my friends it seems. The only real ones anyway. Thanks for letting me know I am not the only one. Hang in there...

You have command of your behavior.

You don't have to act on the desire to cut.

You don't deserve to be hurt.

Sitting in yourself and in feelings, it's hard. I know.
