i wanna stop so bad, like im hruting her by doing it and i dont wanna hurt my wife. its not just for her but for me, but i just, i feel like if i stopped i could be better for her. i started getting numb in the fourth garde and tahts why i started, to feel for once. but now, everytime i mention it, it like hurts her, and i dont wanna hurt her by hurting myself, or at alll. and ive promised not to do it but it was so hard to stop. and i wanna be honest with her and thats why i told her when i did. but by doing this to myself, im hurting her. and like i said, i hate causing her pain because shes my life. like my whole life is talking about her and talking to her, and i hate hate hate hurting her. ive been cutting down on how much i do it but temptation has me in a fucking headlock. i stopped for like two weeks once, which was a while for me, but then my friend gave me a razor blade. and like i can barely go a week now, sometimes it just one but still, whether its one or one hundred, its still not good. does anyone have some advice for how to stop??? like permanently or for as long as possible.

Hey girl! I also struggle with self harm temptations (yes I do give in some times) but here are some things that has kept me clean for the longest (sorry if these have already been repeated adivce for you or feel not strong enough!!).
Ice, now you may be thinking 'you gotta be joking?" But give it a shot! Eat it, place it on the areas you usually cut, go crazy with it. This ones a little weird too but crochet, trust me its better to crash out over learning that and keeping your hands busy (I would also say guitar if u own one cuz does hurt enough too but now actual danger and it can sound like how life's feeling). Also watch videos of your loved one and you together! Now I'm not gonna tell you "life is worth it seeee??" Cuz bsfr its ahh cracks most of the time but just watching how your loved one and you interact can keep your mind off of it. hmmm then you can try the little thing Ginny does with the rubber band! yeah it can get bad but hey what's worse? I really hopes this helps or at least keeps your mind of it and makes your feel better. remember cutting isn't making you a bad person we all have our weakness and we should embrace them.
Hope this wasn't too corny lol!!
