Hey, I'm sorry not to have seen this post sooner. I hope you got to be feeling better soon after posting?

One thing I got from talking to AA people and other people dealing with unhealthy habits--the urge to do it often goes away if you can wait 8-12 minutes from the time you feel the stimulus. Just a thought.

Things will get better; they'll always get better, eventually :D

That's terrible, I would hate to have to work with disrespectful kids that just keep on yelling, and noone (including you) deserves to be yelled at by anyone, I know why the urge to harm yourself seems like the better alternative but it's not, it just appears to be, Is there anyway that you can find a less stressful job, because it seems like this job is only making things worst for you.

With all of the difficulties that you are going through, it seems that you are really in need of self-care. You have been hurt enough -- why hurt yourself more? I agree with brokenbuthopeful -- maybe finding a different job will help lower the stress? It sounds like it is triggering for you.
