How are you beating self-harm?
There have been a few threads like this and I wanted to bring it back. I didn't feel like digging through the last few pages to find it so I figured on making a new one!
How are you keeping yourself safe? How are you beating self-harm? From anything. How are you keeping yourself safe from self-harm, flashbacks, or anything else you struggle with. I visited a family member today and spent time with my pets. Now I'm on the site. Your turn! :) |
Re: How are you beating self-harm?
Happy to see this thread return!
The other day I read a few chapters in a book instead...Still have to finish it! |
Re: How are you beating self-harm?
I’m glad this thread is back Cassie it’s a great idea.
Cutting doesn’t really cross my mind anymore, and if it does I can push it back. I am a little and have a mama(caregiver) type of thing and if I hit,punch,bite or do any other forum of self-harm I get a punishment so that keeps me from doing it. I also have a teething bracelet that I bite instead of myself. |
Re: How are you beating self-harm?
Glad to see this is back!
When I feel the urge to selfharm, I try to talk to my boyfriend, and he will hug me and be there for me. Other thing I do it distraction! Maybe a game, a bath, or a nap helps me a lot :) You guys can always send me a DM, if I can do anything for you. :hug: |

I decided to play a game on my phone instead of doing the things that would make it easier to self harm.

Re: How are you beating self-harm?
I've been watching youtube videos, playing games, and today I read a couple of chapters of my book. Basically keeping my mind as occupied as I can for as long as I can.

Re: How are you beating self-harm?
When I'm thinking of hurting myself, I like to remind myself how far I've gone already and that I wouldn't like to break my 2-years cycle of being clean.
