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.

    Hi all! This is for those of you that have or have had the same neurologist for 4 years or more. I have been with mine now since 2009. He is one of the best movement disorder secialists in the midwest. I know he is extremely busy on the lecture circuit now and in fact not taking new patients there is a huge waiting list for him. BUT.... I feel like my visits are not what they use to be. He...

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
