Why do I always feel the need to keep a blade with me even when I don't need to cut?

I do this too. For me it's a safety blanket- so that if I really can't cope and the diazepam doesn't help, I've got that. But I've only been in a situation twice where I've been in public and needed to use it.

It might be because you feel safer and more comfortable when you keep a blade with yourself, if you are keeping a blade with you from a long time then it might have become a habit for you and you feel odd without it.

eh, this question is already a problem. You should never need a blade to begin with...ever. Seriously chuck that thing or get medical attention. If it's that bad call 911 and they'll stop you from ruining your perfectly functional body.

This might be a mental thing. Your mind is at ease when there is a blade nearby incase you get an urge, because then that urge can be fulfilled. But if you don't have one nearby within reach, your mind won't like that because if you get an urge, then there is no way to fulfill it. Therefor, it has become a comfort to keep one nearby, even on good days when the thought never crosses your mind.

cutting is like any other addiction, even when you feel like you don't need to do it having it with you gives a sort of feeling of security knowing its there for when you do feel the need to cut.
