This is gonna sound pathetic, but i get really scared and nervous whenever I cut myself. Im only ever able to do cat scratches, but I want to go deeper. I just get so tense and anxious and it usually takes me multiple attempts just to get a real cut done because I keep pussying out. How do I get over this?

I know, but whenever I try for a deep cut it just ends up a cat scratch. Maybe my blades shitty, or maybe im not cutting right, but I think my brain is subconsciously pussying out of going as deep as it can truly go. Very cute pic btw ^-^

Well u obv need better coping mechanisms. Ive never seriously cut myself but i have been tense and anxious to the point where i was basically in a psychotic episode for years.

I would suggest breathwork (breathing exercises... you could try 4-7-8 breathing look it up on yt)) or just sitting in silence on ur bed without any phone or distractions and just trying to let the bad feelings and thoughts dissipate over time. A form of meditation basically. You could also try various stretches. My terrible anxiety was mostly caused by tight muscles that i knew nothing about. Like my tight digastric muscle for example. Oh well. Im sorry ur suffering. Pls try not to cut urself

desu i dont really even do it as a coping mechanism. I just do it to feel like my suffering is valid since every other suffering person does it.

I remember listening to emo furry music, watching lain, dying my hair black and cutting myself when i was 13 (in 2011) then realising how deep is was and it wasn't gonna heal for like a month and people at my school saw it. Don't do it lil bros

You have to do it fast, and with a sharp ass blade. What have you been using?

the first time i cut myself i was drunk off my ass and it was really easy for me, but doing it sober seems impossible
so just get drunk or ideally become an alcoholic like everyone else instead of cutting yourself

I suffered for years and the only form of pain I put myself through was super rigorous physical exercise at the gym. I swear you will feel better, and it might even help with your fixation on pain. Obviously go to therapy/counselling, but also go to the gym. Trust me.
