What do you self harm with

[Phoenix]

I'm a cutter. However it's just not fufuilling my 'needs' right now. I can't seem to always cut deep enough. I use a double edge razor blade which used to cut fairly deeply now it seems to just be scratching or leaving minor open cuts.

what do you use for deeper self harm?

A rope at the moment, cutting I don't do anymore I like to put the rope right around my neck and pull it hard and then yank it side to side so it makes a rope burn.

I'm also a cutter. Most of the time I use either a pocket knife or a blade from a sharpener. I prefer the blade of the sharpener, it's small (I can basically hide it anywher), but I can also cut deep enough with it if I push a lil harder.

yeah cutting it used to be a little blade i pulled out of a razor but now scalpels (i ordered them in the event i end up slashing my neck)

Please be really careful doing this. You could get into trouble easier than you think

A brand new box cutter. Used to use double sided razors but I needed to feel something more

Alcohol... Food... If I'm upset I hit myself. I had to stop cutting a long time ago since it made me feel worse to have permanent scars on my body, especially if I was intimate with someone. Some people ignore them but others ask and it's super uncomfortable to address.

Depends on what you consider as self harm. Only 1 do I do optinionally and that's cutting. However during an episode I bash my head off stuff, scratch my neck until it bleeds and/or pinch myself until it leaves a nice indent (no blood). While the last 3 would also count as self harm, I'm not doing it optionally. I actually fear brain damage at this point I've hit my head so hard and on so many things I wish I'd stop.

I feel so sad reading this. I do so many different types of self harming for different feelings and situations. I'm 40 years old and I still can't stop

Just my thoughts are enough to act as a form of self harm. My mind is very overactive and there is no way to calm down. I have never gravitated towards an physical method though.

I use double edged razors too, I switch it out about every 4th time so I'm not using something too blunt
