I agree with Nobody, please don't cut. Do you have some coping mechanisms you can use instead, like sucking on a strong mint, or a lemon, or something? If not that, what about a warm line (as opposed to a crisis line? Some cities have them..)

taking a nice hot shower always makes me feel alittle better when i want to cut. maybe give that a shot? something about the steaming hot water is just so comforting for me.

Totally in despair today too. So sorry you are having a rough time and the pain seems endless. Hopefully things will get better soon for us both. Hope you don't cut, btw. I've been trying to quit for almost two years now. Went 8 months without cutting, but started up again. It's been 3 months now since I last cut. It gets easier to resist the longer you go, so I hope you can keep going. Again, so sorry you are hurting. ((hugs))

im dealing wiht the same struggles i did go six years without cutting though and i had a bad epdisode that led to some cutting recently so now im back on that just dont do it train where its really hard again. the longer you go the easier it gets.
the first year is the hardest but after that you dont want ot start all over agiain also i think that God helped me alot to not cut
i was told by my thera[ost that ice can help holding onto an icecube or running it along where ever you cut...
its a hard addiction to crack. and the depression suck
please dont kill yourself or cut
i feel like a hypocrit saying that since im struggingin the same area but please dont
