I've been cutting myself for a while but I stopped for a while because I went rlly deep and scared myself, and so now I've been having the urges to cut again but whenever I try I like hesitate and my hands start getting shaky. Idk if it's cuz of last time but now when I cut it's always so light and barely helps, but I want to be able to do it again without being afraid I'll go too deep again

Have you any elastic bands at home.
If so an elastic head band. Put it around your wrist, when you have the urge flick the band against the skin. It will pinch you. I was a bad cutter and worked for me.
good luck x

I know you are probably aware of the alternatives, but have you tried rubber bands? They can hurt pretty bad and they leave behind marks too. They're gone after a few days.

I know nothing else seems to match cutting, but the possibility of cutting too deep and then having to call ER is the absolute worst. It's better to find a different outlet before any of that happens.
