About almost four years ago I had a friend who made me promise I would never do it again and although that friend is not really in my life anymore, she made me give her every razor I owned. I took every single one that I had in my room, wallet, and car and gave them to her. I don’t know why I am telling you this as a response to this question but what I am trying to get at is first of all do not not not have razors around you because it is not easy to talk yourself out of it when you have the razor right there in front of you. 

What do I do when I want to? At this point in my life I don’t get the urge any more but on those bad days, where three/four years ago I would have self harmed, I go for a run, practice guitar, take a really long hot shower, blast music as loud as it goes, call a friend to get it off my chest… anything like that! Anything to get your mind off of it!
