My razor.

[The Batman]

I wish I hadn't thrown it away I need it now. Why does it seem everything gets worse when you decide to quit? I want to go buy some more but I don't want to go back to cutting yet I do. I should have waited before I decided to quit.

Everything will seem to get worse when you get rid of your coping method which is what your self harm was, the best way to give it up is to find another way of coping, A walk around the block, going for a bike ride, going to a quiet place getting a punching bag or something similar(preferably not self destructive, Physically or mentally) Try not to make your coping methods to dependent on the one thing(Car, Bike, weather conditions) and have multiple.

I'm glad you've made the hard decision to quit and I hope things get better for you.

It may seem bad that you thrown away your razor because cutting is addictive, and without it how can you possibly resist cutting? Well actually, the fact that you have thrown away your razor is a really good thing! It takes a lot of courage and willpower to stay strong though.

You've even said yourself you don't want to go back to cutting yet, so deep down you know you don't want this. Life is full of temptations, some stronger than others. You need to fight this urge because I know you can do it.

seriously dont give in! i've just cut myself 7 times with a razor and i really regret it. and its not making me feel any better, if anything its making me feel worse! believe in yourself! i wish i could. you've done the hard part, now everytime you think of it, do something fun to forget about it.
dont give up!! xx

Don't go out and buy more. My boyfriend took the razor out of my box cutter and threw it away, but my mom works as a sales rep for Target, so she just brings home more every day. That temptation is nearly impossible to handle. Yet, somehow, I do. I know what it's like to just hold it and feel instantly better. I have that shell of my box cutter under my pillow, it helps sometimes, you know? However, you have to make a definite decision. Do YOU want to stop because of YOU, or because everyone else wants you to? It needs to be the first one, or else it will never work. Right now, I'm trying to get past the post-cutting depression stage. You know? It really sucks, because I want to kill myself sometimes. But I'll get through it, and you will, too. I believe in you. :)

Thank you I'm starting to feel better without it but sometimes the temptation is hard to resist. I've contemplated suicide more since I've stopped cutting and I've even been closer to doing it. I'm just tired of feeling sorry for myself and cutting doesn't help at all it just makes it worse at times. It's like a temporary fix.

[MysticalBurrito]

:hug:

keep going your doing great!

[RaeNose]

It's always a temporary fix, just like every other abuse. It's an addiction, and an extremely addictive one at that. I try using a rubber band, and it sometimes helps... but you need to snap it repeatedly and make sure it hits you skin hard. Then you get little red lines that look like scars and you get the pain, but there's no permanent scarring. I've also contemplated suicide, and I almost cheated on my boyfriend because I thought that I didn't love him anymore. I just... there were no emotions, it didn't matter if I killed myself. No one would've cared, I wouldn't have cared. Then, Sam, my guy, finally told me that I needed help. He said that he couldn't be around me, because when I was with him, I just sat there and wanted him to hold me until my problems went away. I go from friend to friend, looking for someone to talk to. I tried using everyone as a counselor. It was just so depressing. I have drawings of myself being hung, my throat slit, on fire, shot in the head. So, my friend (who's practically a brother to me) is going with me to our youth pastor to see who we can talk to. The whole idea scares the sh*t out of me, but it's what I have to do. And if all else fails, go on 3oh!3's myspace and listen to "I'm not coming to Your Party" because it's frikin' hilarious.

If you can get yourself to not get another razor just use elastic bands. Yes they, in my opinion do not have the same effect, but they are similar. Personally i cant stand the stinging pain from elastic bands but it is obviously different for everybody. At least try it for yourself. it cannot break the skin and therefore cannot scar and bleed. But it will still cause a similar pain to what is done from the blade. Also you could try listening to the Bloodhound Gang or Amateur Transplants. Hilarious comedy bands

[RaeNose]

Although, there always can be repercussions for the rubber bands. I still have one, but I only use it when I really need to. If I use it when I'm only kind of depressed, then it only makes me want to cut worse. Plus, you have to pull it all the way back and hit it so that it leaves a long red welt. You should also think about that you are using this as a replacement or a way to ease off your cutting.
