how to cut deeper?

[someoneconcidering]

hi all, ive posted here a long time ago
its safe to say ive hit a point in my life where suicide is not an option for a large number of reasons

i have turned to cutting instead of other More harmful coping mechanisms (alcohol, drug abuse, meds abuse) though it seems as if i cant go as deep as i used to

any advice? thanks

I'm really sorry you are going through that. I understand needing to cope. I am glad that you are not doing those other methods, but cutting deep can result in major nerve damage which can affect motor control along with feeling.

I used to self harm, and i can tell you that you are going to probably regret it in the future, but i used one of those box cutter knifes to do it i had them all in different sizes, another option is double edged razor blades, a lot of people use those pencil sharpener ones but they are very dull and don't work in my opinion
keep going at the same spot hard all over again and thats what did it for me
also an advice, don't tell people online or join groups where people show off their cut pics alot of shady individuals will try to use you for ''cutsigns'' or whatever they're into

Noone here is going to give you such advice. Plus its against the rules.

We may be pro-choice as a whole, but that includes anti-harm. Discussing and helping each other find and understand options for either healthier/more sustainable ways to cope and continue for the time being, or less harmful/risky methods for CTB, whichever is relevant to each person.

This also generally involves making sufficient and careful and considered plans and not just following impulses on the spur-of-the-moment of high emotions as this is commonly where the biggest risk of harm occurs (meaning: unintended pain or injury or consequences)

I find it easier to cut deeper in the dark, and always make sure to sharpen your blades. I really want to cut big and deep but it also just grosses me out
