Listening to music. Starting with a sad song and from there chosing a slightly more cheerfull song and then an even more cheerfull song until I reach something uplifting that drags me out of my low mood

I was looking online for a dream catcher, prepared myself a salad, cleaned a bit, and might watch shadow hunters since I *just* got into it. I might catch up and then surprise my sister because I am only on season 1, episode 3 and she had watched all of them and waits for the new ones. I am hoping talking about shadow hunters would be a bonding moment because our relationship isn't the greatest =/

I can't beat it completely, but I try. I have thought of my friend and parents. I thought about how many people would worry about me. Although it doesn't completely help, it is the best option for now.

playing my fav music as loud as possible. I also tend to vent all my feelings if I'm anxious/angry/sad/close to cutting by drawing characters 'looking the way I'm feeling' like with a gun or cut ones. It may seem depressing since the images are violent and carry lots of negative emotions; however, I think it's a great way to release all the feelings.

Self-harm can be a way of coping with problems. It may help you express feelings you can’t put into words, distract you from your life, or release emotional pain. Afterwards, you probably feel better—at least for a little while. But then the painful feelings return, and you feel the urge to hurt yourself again. If you want to stop cutting or self-harming but don’t know how, remember this: you deserve to feel better, and you can get there without hurting yourself.
