My mom knows I self harm, she has done for a long while. And since it's got worse, she's been taking away all the 'sharp' and 'harmful' things around the house away, because I will do it with whatever I can get my hands on. I have previously done it with scissors, pins, needles, jagged bits of plastic and metal, smashing and breaking things, like rulers and mirrors, to get things sharp enough to cut. But nothing did it for me like a razor. I discovered the razors and started using them. It cut deeper, hurt more and left more scars. I needed it. I lied about what I was self harming with every time my mom found out, because I was terrified of her taking what I actually used away. She found out about the razors yesterday and now I literally don't have anything left to cut with... It's driving me insane.. I even unscrewed a pencil sharpener and took the blades out of that, but they didn't work as well, hardly anything at all really.

I need it... and I'm hoping you guys will understand that.. I'm going out my head.. I need SOMETHING..

Stay strong, love. <3 Try doing something to take your mind off of the urge. Go for a run, draw a picture, call up a friend. Do something that doesn't involve SH. I know you can. You just gotta find that strength. It's there, somewhere. Good luck!

its a battle of will. you can do it. you are strong. resist the urge. it will be uncomfortable in the beginning. but the sooner you can resist, the sooner the urge will be become less. believe me, the beginning is the toughest.

You have to treat the underlying causes for your SI urges. Do you have a T?

A therapist? Yes, I have done since I was about 10/11 years old and no good has come of it since then. i know i have various mental health issues, illness, etc... but it's sooo hard to ignore the urges

Can I ask what you have been working on with your T?

I've been where you are right now... wanting to use anything and everything to cut. My parents did the same thing took away the things I could use, but then my brain started to come up with other things, outside of the box thinking. And now it's been a few months since all of those self-destructive thoughts. It takes time, don't give up. Find the will to overcome the urges.
