Help what the hell happened..? (SELF HARM POST)

[soontobec0rpse]

this post isnt particularly abt CTB, i simply just don't know of anywhere else that i can be as open and blunt as i need to be. i've self harmed since early grade school, from early on i was hitting deep styros at the least. about a year ago however i was sent to a treatment facility. for abt 8 months. meaning i did not cut for 8 months. i've been trying so hard to achieve what i did previously.. but i just cant make deep cuts anymore..? i don't know if i subconsciously forgot or what but it is rather frustrating. does anyone have tips for making deeper cute/drawing more blood?? i'm not worried about pain, i have a freakishly high tolerance. i just need to bleed.

Press down hard ,go over the same cuts two three times, or even more. I advise getting double-sided blades used for shaving, they are basically the sharpest.

you probably need a new blade. in my experience, eyebrow razors are a so-so method of cutting deep. it's possible, but hard. i don't really want to name better blades but im sure you can imagine the types that might be sharper.

multiswiping definitely got me further than where i was originally so it'll do for now

Your blade probably isn't sharp, get a new one. It's easy to make a mistake and go too shallow or deep with blunt blades since you need to use so much pressure and swipe so fast to get down to styro. Preferably a scalpel(be careful, so much shaper than a normal razer blade) or a utility razer blade(the standalone blade itself, long box cutter blades suck ime)

Ahh I see, where are you cutting? If you pull the skin tight with one hand(or if on your wrist, extend your wrist and straighten your elbow out to pull the skin on the underside taught) before cutting the blade should cut deeper much easier.

I'm sorry you're hurting so much right now
