Help Problems with cutting

[NairTJ]

I'm trying to satisfy my urges but the motion of cutting is so disgusting to me and is really hard to do. Nothing else really bothers me, not the pain or the blood, just something about cutting makes it hard to do repeatedly.

Should I try getting a blade sharp enough that I can just press it in?
Any other ideas welcome

Maybe your subconscious is trying to tell you something. No judgment I sh too. I wouldn't recommend pushing with a sharp blade, that could make a wound more severe than your intending. Could be a good time to replace the urge with a different release. Not kidding could be the perfect opportunity. Try and see what can get rid of the urge. Can always self harm in the future, I wish I found better ways to satisfy that urge earlier. Physical or stimulating, at least give each a try. Walk or light workout/sport, or try reading a book or comics/manga or try some sort of puzzle. Always trust yourself your body's trying to say something.

What are your urges? If the idea of cutting doesn't do it for you then don't do it. Last time I self harmed I burned myself with an iron but I wouldn't recommend that to anyone. I had to wrap my arm in cling film every time I had a shower for ages…

The idea of cutting seems pleasant and when im done it is too, I just really dislike the process and was wondering if I could get the same results in a different way

Perhaps pinching or using a rubber band can work? Less damage too. Also seen people suggest pressing an ice cube against the skin and let it melt, but personally never tried it
