I gave my razor away and I want it back so bad it' only been gone 1 day and th at was the only thing that was my escape my way of getting through the day and the night. I just feel like ending it..
You've done a great job already giving your razor away. Celebrate that win! Celebrate every 10 minutes that you make it through without relapsing. If you're at the end of yourself and you know you can't make it through the hour without self-harming, set a timer for ten minutes first. Even if you still end up cutting, you'll have continued to build your fight muscles.
Could you talk about these feelings with whoever it was that you gave your razor to? It's normal to feel regret right after taking a step like that. You might even crave cutting more than ever once you've taken the option away. Hang in there, it gets easier. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but easier is coming. You're in a battle for your life and right now you're winning. I know it doesn't feel that way right now... and I'm sorry. This sucks.
If you find yourself making plans for suicide, please don't wait until you're "bad enough" to go to the emergency room. Or if you can't imagine making it to the hospital, tell a friend or call the national suicide crisis line: 1-800-273-8255.
You're not alone. And you're stronger than you know.
