The urge is so strong it's all I can think about.

I'm terrified that I might go too far with it. Terrified that others in my life will realize just how bad things are. Terrified that this feeling will never end and nothing will become of my life.

Please help.

Woah woah uhm there are a lot of other things you can do!

-run. run and don't stop until you're legs are going to fall over
-use ice instead of a blade--it has a similar sting and isn't permanent
-use a rubberband and smack it into yourself on your wrist or leg
-take a pen (or pen cap) and scratch it out.
-keep your hands busy via papercrafts or sunflowerseed eating or stressball smushing
-and also play loud music and sing along--it helps make your mind busy

You can do it!

Well... I did it. I guess the urge is gone... for now....

It's okay you tried really hard! I know how tough it is to stop. Recharge and then try again next time

Pick yourself up, forgive yourself and try again! We are all very proud of you for posting and acknowledging that you needed help and asking in the first place. That's great!
Be kind to yourself and next time jump in a FREEZING cold shower that always used to shock the urge right out of me until I was in a better frame of mind to make a purely conscious decision not to do it
