My personal "favourite" tool to use is a retractable craft knife. But I have used and sometimes do use kitchen knives (non-serated), broken glass and scissors.

Razors and scissors. If i am mad enough i will break a glass and cut myself with the shap pieces... I hope I am not giving you any ideas...

Nothing, what is the point of hurting yourself? Try writing away your anger and pain. Harming yourself is hurting you and any close ones you may have. Learn to think of not only yourself but others as well. This is directed to everyone who just told this person a weapon to cause self infliction with. You all need help, and I say this in the most polite way. If you want to reach out and stop what you're doing come talk to me. I'll always lend a listening ear.

First, to cierraloves you, I believe that if we could NOT cut our selves, we wouldn't. It is an addiction, and something we can't help. It is the way we cope and we are here to help our selves. You can't look at a junkie and tell them not to do that line with it sitting right there. I hate to compare si to a drug addiction, but an addiction is an addiction. I don't know about everyone else, but i'm not thinking of others when I cut myself. I'm thinking of how to help the pain and get it away. And I think we all know we need help, thats why we are here...


now I don't believe that is a question that should've been asked,,,what weapons do you use...just because it gives others new ideas and it makes it sound like its no big deal. Thats just my opinion.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
