I Did Something Stupid...

[starbrite5]

I was shopping at Target with my mom, and there was just a razor sitting on the shelf. My mom was distracted, halfway down the aisle with her back turned. I didn't even think, I just grabbed it. Now it's sitting there, and I want to use it really badly. I've been doing so well lately; I really don't want to screw up for the thousandth time.

THrow it out, while you can. It's not worth it :) You're strong enough without it.

Throw it away. It's hard enough as it is, if you have the razor in front of you it'll make it so much harder. If you find it hard to throw it out then you could try to trick yourself into doing it. Just take away all the connotations of what it means and just get rid of it.

You know at the end of the day cutting will not make things better. You'll end up with hundreds of scars. You'll always be covering up and you'll get back into the addiction aspect of it. Don't do it.

Like others said, throw it away, self-harm isn't worth it. :) Please don't cut and throw it away, as you said you were doing well and you deserve to be free of this.

It'll be much easier to resist self harm once that razor is gone. It'll be easier to throw it out now than to resist while it's there so do as the others have said and get rid of it :)
