i have a child who does this. it's sad. i hope you find a way to stop and replace this with a less potentially life threatening outburst. you must be going thru a lot of pain. my prayer for you is that you find a way out of the darkness.

ok well im not going to yell at you and say ST0P N0W! lik the rest of the people but i am going to tell you to try and get into another habit like biting your nails isnt much better but its progress. and maybe a sport boxing is a great way to get out frustration and anger. sometimes i even walk get my MP3 player sometimes i just go with out it just me and the open road no worries. sometimes
(not often but sometimes) i even leave my cell phone at home so that my problems can't reach me. i leave the phone and take the dog. great way to get excercise too. try it trust me it works. try getting rid of those razors and i know you probably need them to shave so try to some nair till your sure that you can bring them back with out temtation.
good luck!

This is just my opinion, and I think some of it may be a little contradictory to what other people believe but hear me out...
Do not try to attack the urge to cut. That's like trying to kill a tree by taking off leaves, I guess you could eventually but it's a hell of a lot easier to just cut the trunk. And then the leaves are gone too (Not that I endorse tree killing, it's just the best comparison I could think of). What I mean is that while the cutting certainly isn't good, just getting rid of it won't really fix anything, and it'll be insanely difficult.
Just try to figure out why you want to, and attack that. I don't know what it is you're feeling, so I can't say specifically. I know for me (just as example), it was a total feeling of self worthlessness and wanting to give up -> seeing only the bad in me and not believe that the good was my doing -> logically, that's kinda goofy. I shouldn't be more skeptical of positive things than negative. And I believe in people just not myself... why the hell should I be the exception?! -> trying to change those biases in my thoughts -> believing in myself a little more, that I can change -> I do see myself get better -> I no longer want to cut, because I don't think I'm hopeless. Cutting wasn't the neurosis, it was just a surface sign screaming at my consiousness that hey, something is wrong is wrong here, fix it. Now.
It also helps to confide in your friends. It can help you feel a little more like you'll have to answer to someone, and knowing that they'd be hurt makes you not want to. Because you don't want to hurt the people you love, right? But you could. Sympathy is a powerful thing.
godspeed

Im not going to be hypocritical, because i still have my depressed moments.
But just try to find the bright side in everything. Instead of using your hand to do this to yourself, write about what your feeling. That REALLY works.
Your in my prayers.
