Im scared but also excited to find sharper things to cut with. why am I scared? Maybe because im unsure of what damage sharper things will do. I wish i could stop thinking about it. but at the same time I dont want to stop doing it. although its not as bad as other people i guess.

I would ask you to stop but that would be hypocritical, so instead, just be careful please.
Make sure you are in control and don’t cut too deep. The doctors and nurses don’t treat you that well if you end up needing stitches for that.
Thank you. this comment means a lot. maybe ill start trying to stop, although i dont really know how yet.
Hi can I make a suggestion-? Please don’t use sharper objects, instead try to use duller objects. Thats how I managed to quit. I stopped using blades and started using rocks and things that take some effort to break the skin. You probably know, Sometimes it’s not about the cut but more about the pain or just the action. I was able to step it down from blades to rocks to bruising myself with my fist and so far it’s sorta working to wean me off the whole self harm thing. I know you said you don’t really want to stop and I get it. That’s our biggest obstacle, accepting that we need to stop. But maybe that’s why my strategy kinda worked because I wasn’t actually committing to stopping, it was more like trying different ways of self harm that aren’t as bad. I hope you find something that works for you because nobody should go through life cutting themselves. I think you can beat this….
