I'm feeling a desperate need to cut....I'm anxious and cant seem to calm down...I'm trying to take my mind off of it.

Think about why it is that your wanting to cut, then about the consequences of you cutting.
Maybe do something that you love doing, talk to a friend, go be around lots of people?
There are much better things to do then cut, trust me...

There are no consequenses for cutting. Plus I am agoraphobic and xenophobic as well

Instead of sitting and thinking about it. Go for a walk! look at the leaves and their many colors.
Just sitting there isn't going to make those feelings go away.
Try it.

I have to be medicated to leave the house, which is not good for walking alone.
I got up and started dinner prep. I'm feeling a little less anxious. Thank you.
