Okay, this is kind of a weird question that I'm not sure anyone relates to, but just wanted to see if anyone had some suggestions!

I'm a bassoonist (it's an instrument and it's not funny :) ) and I make my own reeds (the things you blow into to make the bassoon play). Making reeds requires many sharp objects including well-honed knives and *gulp* razor blades. Lots of razor blades.
Can't get around having them and using them for that craft...gotta do it or I don't have a career.

So suffice to say, it's a bit easy to SI as soon as I get the urge. Plus, I often get extremely frustrated when making reeds, cause it's hard and a big pain in the ass, and that often leads to the familiar cycle of shame guilt self-hatred and severe anger.

Any suggestions on how to avoid this seemingly unavoidable situation?

Looking for mind games to play on myself, esp.

Thanks,

D'Arcy
