How are you beating Self Harm?

[hocus pocus]

I am going to deal with my anxiety in a healthy way. Or try to

[hocus pocus]

I didn't, but I'm going to post around here for a little bit now to calm myself down.

[mindflower]

To Write Love On Her Arms, music, talking to my friends

[kaydee.]

Focusing on certain activities..
like homework, and reading. :]

[The Only Exception]

Music. Daily bible study. They've really helped!

[hocus pocus]

I jumped on the trampoline

[KymPerson]

TeenHelp, Halloween music, and I'm gonna paint a birdhouse in my grandmother's memory.

[¯|_(ツ)_|¯]

I put off taking my shower until I was calmer so I couldn't cut in it.

Today? Sheer will power.

[KymPerson]

Flinging rocks into the bay behind my house.

I have found a few ways that helped over the years. I went quite a while without, thanks to the following, and gained a little bit more confidence about the whole deal.

1. Wearing a fingerless glove all the time. The inability to fully feel things with this hand will make you have a rather interesting sensation when you take the glove off. Especially interesting is washing your hands, touching things with rough textures, or touching soft things. I take my glove off and run my hand lightly along the walls when I get urges. It's fun, and if you do it right, it is a really cool fashion statement.
2. Taping paper to the wall, then using colors to express your emotions. I would put a key for colors that equal emotions, but it's really your choice. For some people, the color yellow is happy and friendly, while to others, it's nervous and cautious. It really depends on how you feel.
3. Searching funny things on Google images, or Bing images. You can lose yourself in the things, and really, how can you not laugh or smile at that stuff?

Playing piano.

[¯|_(ツ)_|¯]

Playing Sims.

[stateofserenity]

When I had one, I talked to my boyfriend and he would always talk me out of it.

[Ral.]

Eh, right now? I'm not.

[Adalia Rose]

Not letting myself be alone.

[mindflower]

Rubber Bands and talking it out.

[¯|_(ツ)_|¯]

I forgot to bring my tool into the bathroom with me when I took my shower and forced myself to not go get them.

[Pirouette]

I am posting around here and reading a story for English as a way to distract myself.

[Philomath]

Doing homework and watching movies

[Ral.]

Not doing well atm, but music, my girlfriend.

[Azure.]

Watching a movie and eating popcorn.

[Taylah]

music, talking to people online, writing down lyrics to songs - it may hurt my hand but it keeps me occupied.

[mindflower]

Talking to my boyfriend... and TeenHelp

[¯|_(ツ)_|¯]

Staying on the computer until I am too tired to bother.

[DanTheMan :P]

Laying here with a hot drink, comfort foods ( ) and staying on teenhelp until my eyelids feel like someone has attached weights to them

Edit: Lol just my luck that this was the 666'th reply :P

[DanTheMan :P]

So pleased
Had a very bad day and really wanted to, but went somewhere there were no tools and distracted myself

[¯|_(ツ)_|¯]

Got a phone call and instead of ignoring it, answered it and talked to calm down.

[Azure.]

Reading and listening to music.

[hocus pocus]

I wrote a few poems.

[¯|_(ツ)_|¯]

I was getting a headache and also convinced myself I was too tired, so I watched Netflix in bed on my Kindle instead.

[hocus pocus]

Somehow. When there's a will, there's a way, right?

[Azure.]

Putting some music on and talking to a friend.

[KymPerson]

My newest way? Skyping with a friend who lives far away. She can always cheer me up.

[Azure.]

Writing things with permanent marker all over myself.

Reading books on my Nook.

[Konohana Sakuya]

Browsing the net for self-love guides, browse TH, read books, play video games, look up funny webcomics, listen to music, sing, and have a friendly chat with my brother or my friends through social medias.

[Moxie.]

Reminding myself of the promise that I made to her and turning on a movie instead.

[Azure.]

Watching TV and painting my nails .

[hocus pocus]

I'm listening to my Daughtry CD, and cleaning out my room. I think I might make my alternatives box today.
