I really really really really really really really really really really really want to cut right now... i'm shaking because i really need to. i don't have anything near me that i can cut with at the moment and if i do cut it'll look highly unprofessional cuz i have a promotional meeting on monday and if the managers see it i might not get the deal. i tried the rubber band method and it's just not doing it for me. i just cant feel the pain with the rubber band method even though my wrist is super red and have the elastic band marks. what should i do? im freaking out! :'(

Did you cut? I was going to suggest putting the rubber band on your other wrist, or maybe snapping it on your fingers. I'm really sorry you're feeling so badly. You're not alone, you're among so many people who understand here. Please feel better.
Thanks for this!

Hello dear,
What have you done in the past that worked? I know this sounds cliche and you don't feel like doing something you like, but for the sake of your sanity try.
I deal with SI urges and one great thing I use is ASMR. It's like mediation. I'm watching this one right now.

I hope you feel better
