Am I a sick person? Or is this common?

When I was suicidal back in high school I kind of got addicted to putting myself on edge and trying to hurt myself. Only thing is, sometimes I just had dangerous things around because somehow it kept me from actually hurting myself. Like if I had razor blades or knives in my drawers I would look at them and kind of feel better about not using them?
Now a few years later it's been a while since I hurt myself, but I feel like I'm slipping back into old habits. I kind of want to have razor blades around again, but just to have the feeling of reassurance.
Has anyone ever gotten this feeling before?

I can't say I have, but if keeping those things around discourages you from using them, I see no harm in keeping them around. But, don't bottle your emotions, find a safe and healthy way to let them out.

Yes.

Self harm is unhealthy but it is not who you are.
It is something to get over, to survive and use for your own good [quote]am I sick person?[/quote]

Do explore alternatives that are less dangerous to cope.
