cutting box's can be anything you want them to be...there are two types. a safe box, and a happy box. SAFE BOX the safe cutting box is one you keep clean 'equipment' in. sterrelising fluid to make sure everything is germ free, bandages and medi wipes, and any other thing you can think of to make cutting as safe as poss...if you really have to do it try and make it SAFE. HAPPY BOX the happy cutting box is something you keep any happy memories in. you are supposed to look in it everytime you get an urge and it takes your mind off things...mine for example includes photos of my brother and sisters, my cats, my niece and my family (mom, dad, jamie...etc) i have a tape in there with all my favorite songs on, and a personal tape player for me to listen to them. letters my boyfriend, my sister and my mom have written, encourging emails from you guys, and two messages to my self...one reminding me to look at my arm and to think if i want anymore scars, and the other one telling me i am amazing and i am loved. the two main things are from my mom and my partner, saying more or less the same thing. try the happy box...it will help. even if it doesn't stop you cutting it will make you think and you might not be as vigorous!
