Parents found my razor

I wanted to put off moving my razors into my wallet to one more day and this just so happens to be the day that my mother goes rooting through all of my stuff and throws out all my razors. She didn't get mad at me. It was a short and quick discussion so that I wouldn't have just had my razors disappear. I knew they'd have to find out somehow and I guess this is the best possible reaction they could have had, but I'm still freaking out about it. I now have no way to cut and I really want to go out and buy a new razor so that i have the option. They also took away every, single, last, pill in the house and I've got no more melatonin. I used it to make myself sleep and I used them for an attempted suicide attempt a little bit ago. Now that I have absolutely no way to harm myself I'm FREAKING OUT. Especially since I have to spend all day with my mother tomorrow.

Oh I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have my scissors anymore I can only imagine what it must feel like to not have your razors. To be honest I would probably flip and my mom would finally find out everything not having the option would really...
But this is probably a good step forward that will help you out just stay positive and I'm sure you can get through tomorrow if you need to talk you can message me anytime. Stay strong.

oh dear, I remember the first time my "friends" found out. I was living alone then. They took away everything sharp from my apartment. Knives, scissors, mirrors, glasses, meds, everything. And they jus left me there. I totally freaked out. Its going to be a hard a very very hard journey, but you are not alone. We are here to support you all the way. I am truely sorry...

I know that is hard. But you can do it. When you have the first few urges and do not have it for release it is hardest... but after those first few, and you realize you have made it through those times without cutting, you start to realize you can make it through more times, and that they wont be as bad because it is not the first time. Try snapping a rubber band on your wrist, putting red nail polish on your skin where you usually cut, and if that's not enough, you can try snapping a band there as well so that there is the pain sensation plus something red. You can do this, and we are all here for you. Post here or you can message me if you want some individual support or just to talk. Good luck, you CAN do it.
