What, helps cutting my nails so short they hurt..then very hard to pick..it is part of my Ocd..and I think Self injury to!

Open Self-Injury

I use to cut.....but since my four kids freaked out....this has kept me from doing it. But, I think about it all the time....hourly,daily....and my head tells me to cut my wrists off and ankles...as this would relieve the pain! Right.....I will not listen to the voices...I will be strong and keep fighting to the very end.
