Triggering (SI) - my parents took my tools and I cant take it!

My parents have taken away everything in the house I could use to cut myself, supposing they left me alone long enough for me to, and it's driving me crazy because I need to cut, it's been three weeks!!!
sorry, just ranting

I know how you feel. The past few times I've been home they've taken everything I use to SI. They haven't this time, but that's because they can't find it.

They're just doing it to protect you in the only way they know how. They need help to understand. Talk to them.

perhaps this will turn out to be a good thing for you.
try not to dwell on it to much and be thankful your parents care enough to do this.
try to do things to distract yourself or one of the methods like cnappy a rubber band of ur arm. take care x

I know it seems unfair but they are doing it because they care. When my mom found out I cut, she only threatened to take sharp objects and hide them. She didn't actually go through with it. I think it's good that your parents are taking action and it will help you in time, I'm sure. Try to distract yourself. Read a book, listen to a favorite CD. You will be okay. *hugs*
