Heya, although SI may seem like a good way out at the moment you deserve better then that. Have you had a look at a few of the ideas to coping with urges in this forum? There are plenty of alternatives.

Take care of yourself

Just remember, cutting does not make it all better. It may feel better for a little while, but that is just chemical. Not that I'm one to talk, I cut just 3 hrs ago, because one of my friends gave me a funny look when she saw my arm - I've only just decided that I will reveal my SI to my friends, and it was the first time she'd seen it. And then 2 hrs before that aswell, because of a panic attack. Why? Because it was a quick way to feel better. It doesn't last. I wish I could stop.

But it doesn't make everything better, I still have to face my problems, as everyone else does. Your problems will not go away if you cut, and there are other ways to cope.

Wish I could follow my own advice :-?
