> Talking to my therapist helped though. He didn't overreact. Just asked me to get the razor blades out of the house, which seems reasonable to me, even if I do have no intention of using them.
Yes, that is an absolutely great idea to get those things out of the house! Way too tempting sometimes. I'm so sorry you're having to go through this. This may be evidence of how sick my mind is, but I try to use those self injury impulses to motivate me to exercise. I better explain.... I have some free weights, and I think about how muscle is built - by causing very small tears in the muscle, which then becomes thicker as it heals. Instead of cutting, I try to think of those little tears that I can cause if I use the weights. Sometimes it works.Exercise as the ultimate self-punishment! lol
I hope you're safe.
