I think i know what triggered my anxiety for today. Apples being cut, with a clean sharp knife. I cut some red bell pepper for my guinea pigs and the red juice stained the paper plate.

I might play more ipad to think about something else or do laundry and then take a shower to just get my mind on something else. Does anyone have good ideas? I dont want all sharp objects hidden from me just because i dont have self control, im old enough to have those things lying around the house and me not to use them for self injury. But its making me anxious that they're available. If i just think about cutting it makes me want to do it, should i just hide them? Help!

Hope this helps.
