Isn't self harming better then trying to commit suicide? What if you cut to just feel, to feel release, control, freedom not to kill yourself?

Right now... I want to feel the freedom and relief of a sharp razor blade cutting into my skin over and over again. Not too deep because I would never want to die this way, but just enough to release the blood from my veins. The pain that it inflicts is nothing compared to the pain I feel inside my head. A pain so deep... painful.... lonely.... empty.... lost... that there are no exact words to describe what I am actually feeling. Words come close to almost expressing what I want to scream... but I'm silent. No one knows. Well now you do... But the only thing that gives me freedom or relief is cutting.... it isn't because I want to kill myself... it is because if I don't then I'm going to do something stupid & permanent. Nothing numbs or quiets the pain... alcohol... weed... sex... none of it! Just the cold sharp razor blade cutting into my skin.

I will pray for you.

Because one day your depth of cutting won't be enough and you'll need to cut deeper to feel it, then that won't work and you'll need to cut deeper to feel it......at what point will you stop, even if it doesn't give you the relief you need?
