I won't judge you the people who do don't understand. I use to do the same thing until I saw some thing on the internet about how it can get infected. You can sterilize it with rubbing alcohol. That's the only thing you can really do. It should be safe after you do that. Haven't got an infection so it's safe.
If you are cutting you understand that help is needed. Wise thing to do would be to talk to your doctor and see what steps need to be taken to help you stop this.
If you need something to help reduce stress and anxiety you can try a few of the things I will list.
1. Instead of fighting the anxiety go with it - fighting it can make is worse and last longer.
2. Do deep breathing exercises by taking a few deep breaths and releasing slowly.
3. Count backwards from 100 by 3's when you feel the anxiety coming on. The idea behind this is for you to take control of the anxiety before it controls you. Try doing some deep breathing before you do this.
4. Do something that you enjoy and can focus on - music, bike ride, go for a walk, meditation etc.
5. Scent Therapy - Lavender can have a calming effect on people.
6. Exercising 3-4 times a week, exercise will emit endorphins which is a natural tranquilizer.
7. Hot Bath with Epsom Salt can be relaxing.
8. Try and stay away from caffeine and sugar. Eat healthy.
Drama queen, you know how to disinfect use alcohol to sterilize if you are going to cut yourself. Like you didn't know this looking for attention typical cutter on Y/A.
Is cutting yourself safe? Of course not.
Being sterile is the least of your worries.
Boiling water or an antiseptic spray.
Such a bad idea. Really consider sitting down with a professional.
