The box-cutter classic. Mind, you'll can have a problems with your wounds and scars, even your mom have eye on razor blades. You can also try to got exhausted and it can have similar effects to self-humiliating.

Have you ever considered tattooing or piercing as an alternative? I know it's not really the same...

The rusty nails is one of the most bad option indeed. The manicure equipment is also that i found in my mind. Still, if i read correctly, and you lied to doctors to get escape from them, that's not smart to self-humiliate yourself in cost your freedom. If you still in it - try to have cuts as accidental happens (not typical for it) and not in constant painfull places, like a joints.

Great idea. Also DIY tatts.

Dont understand why other think its gross tho?
Most of the people who self harm dont do it for attention? They just want to cope with the pain. Personally I started s/h when I was 13, now Im 26 and still doing it
Got my blades taken away too, so now I harm with scissors

This is not an unusual question here. I don't self-harm, but I've seen plenty of threads. Use the site search for terms like self harm and cutting, I know I've seen suggestions. Not encouraging you to do it, but it's not my body it's yours, and I get not having any replacement coping skills when an urge is strong. If you can't find anything safe to cut with, could you use a red pen (or even another color) where you would normally cut? Or snap that area with a rubber band?

Have you looked into stick and poke tattoos? It shouldn't be expensive and items can even be acquired in craft stores. Takes patience and could be therapeutic.

I have no thoughts about good or bad this stuff is. Actually practiced it in my childhood. The problems will be if you will get caught with this type of activity and evidences goes to non-proper way for you.

Dont know if im aloud to say names here but there are other sites like this but dedicated to SH not suicide which might suit you more, but for real, im not one to tell you what to do with your body, im not one to judge but if you need someone to talk to that understands SH im only a message away :)

I found that the BiC disposable razors are the best, the ones with a single blade. Much better than Gillette razor blades. You can get a set of 10 of those BiC blades for a few quid. Then you to get rid of the plastic bits with a pair of pliers. Cutting is pretty addictive though so be careful.

Hey, I'm sorry you're feeling bad enough to want to hurt yourself. I wouldn't feel comfortable giving you suggestions but I hope you are staying safe <3

Things you could do instead:
- take a cold shower/bath
- work out or do intense cardio (different physical pain)
- squeeze ice
- rip up newspaper (gets out anger)
- draw red lines on the place you want to sh (with pen or marker)
- facetime or call a friend/family member
- listen to/play music
- snap an elastic band on your wrist

What's going on that's making you feel this way?

Wearing rubber bands like a bracelet and snapping them against your forearm can be a safer, but no less painful, form of self-harm. From personal experience, snapping the rubber band in the same place over and over again hurts way more than cutting ever did, and leaves horrific bruises that can last upwards of a week. Wearing long sleeves meant I could do it while in public or at work.

It's not gross to ask for information. True knowledge is the most helpful thing you can find on this site.
Stay safe and out of trouble.

If you absolutely cannot get your hands on anything, scratch yourself until you peel off bits of skin.
