Just got out of my Tuesday group therapy. And after trying to help someone in the group I realized that I couldn't comment on some things because of my self-harming. I'm thinking I MAY turn in my razor blades Friday at group, to my therp. They've been trying to get me to do it since I started in March. I know it's mainly symbolic, since I obviously could get more. I've got to think about it more. Pretty scary to think of not having them within ways reach.

Update. I did give my case manager my razors today. She knows I have never done this before, so she was very happy for me. I told her I couldn't promise anything but to try and deal with problems without cutting. So right now, I'm not panicking but am trying not to think about them being gone.

I just read this post for the first time, and I'm also so proud of you! I'm recovering from cutting, so I know how hard it is to not do it, and to deal with the urges and desires to... Although you can get new razor blades, the fact that you turned them in is one of the BIGGEST steps that you could take, and that's so amazing. You inspire me so much

I have never done group but giving my boyfriend my blades was so hard. I had so many that I had stashed that I felt like my security blanket was gone. In the long run it was very helpful getting rid of them even though I resorted to different methods of self-harm in extreme situations (burning, scratching till I bled, etc) but I am now over a month and knowing that my blades aren't stashed around the house makes it a lot easier to not harm. Good luck to you, I hope you can do it!

Update: went to group for the first time since turning in the blades. My case manager made it a special point to check and see how I was doing today. I know all therapists at group are now aware of what went on, but only one who used to be my case manager as well as my pdoc has mentioned it and told me they were happy that I had done so well. I don't know how I'll feel about it the first time a crisis hits, but for now, i's a relief to not have them around me, after the initial fear.

Thank you. So far, I'm doing okay. I almost feel free, but can't trust myself until my first major crisis and to see how I deal with it. |

So far, no impulse to cut. I've been a little depressed, but not enough to SI. Just some circumstances going on right now. I can't believe how long it has been! Thanks for everyone's support!
