I need to cut but where?

[XxNINJAxX]

I haven't cut for more then five weeks and the urge is to strong and I feel the need to cut but my parents check me but not my ankles and I want to cut them but I don't what do I do???

We're not allowed to give tips and I suppose this would be considered just that.

All I can say is you've lasted over 35 days, that's amazing and whatever happens you should be very proud of yourself because that's a massive achievement. You don't have to give up now, distract yourself if you need to, go for a run although if you're in Aus then it's like 8:30pm, right? Write down what you're feeling, get some thick card and just scribble or tear it apart, just try to refrain from cutting and hopefully after a while, however long that may be, the urges will lessen. Stay strong, talk to someone if you need to, some people on VT tend to be very willing to listen and help in any way possible. You can beat this.

If you need to cut the get a pair of scissors and some paper and make those people chains. I bet ur thinking stupid joke f**k off. But I'm actually serious. Or cut up pieces of fabric, it worked for me....

You've come so far, please don't cut. One alternative I use is rubbing an ice cube over wherever you want to cut, until it's numb. Getting the feeling back into it can take a while, but it works for me. Or draw lines on your skin with your fingers.
Please don't cut!

Distract yourself, if you lasted for so long, you will be able to last longer. Just stay strong and don't cut <3
