How are you beating Self Harm?

[hocus pocus]

I've been talking to my therapist and my friends from TeenHelp.

I was holding the blade ready to cut, I dropped it into the toilet and cuddled with my stuffed panda.

taking deep breathes and doing school work.

[Calaer]

By reminding myself that I'm going to be okay, no matter the outcome.

[hocus pocus]

I've been watching TV so I don't over think things.

[Palmolive]

Listening to music and about to watch a film and cook tea.

[hocus pocus]

I talked to my therapist about how I was feeling.

Playing Town of Salem.

Playing Town of Salem.

[Not_here]

I am playing the "I'll do it in 5 minutes" game. I've been looking up some stuff I'm curious about and emailing myself those links. Then I'll head home and going home takes an hour so I'm thinking of just having a snack and taking a nap, but we'll see.

[Palmolive]

I'm on here. And talking to a friend.

[¯|_(ツ)_|¯]

Played Town of Salem with some lovelies. And then I got into bed to play Crossy Road.

[Calaer]

By praying and having scripture study.

[hocus pocus]

By napping.

[Not_here]

I went to the park today for 2 hours. I came home and tried to breathe

[hocus pocus]

I spent the day out of the house.

[Calaer]

By cuddling Ava, reading my scriptures, and watching SPN.

[hocus pocus]

I got out for a while and I did some cleaning.

[Sophrosyne]

I'm not apparently. I just broke my record of going without it. Yay.

[Calaer]

Watching SPN and Listening to music.

[rosepetal]

By waiting it out, eating chocolate, listening to music, journaling

[TheTameLion]

I cut myself... Oh wait that was beating my other problems

[xyzman]

I found that it doesn't do what I want yes it might take my mind off the emotional pain for a little but as the physical pain goes away the mental comes back and then I have scars that remind me of why I was hurting in the first place so I found that its easier and better to not do it at all I channel that pain in to weighting and I got to say it works a lot better and if I want I can burn the paper or cut the paper (the pain) and I don't hurt myself but I hurt the pain get it? or if I want to come back to it I can keep it and revisit it as I like or I post it for others to see maybe give them something to relate to and not feel so alone

[hocus pocus]

I talked to my therapist and listened to calming music on my phone.

[Palmolive]

I've come to bed and am going to watch F.R.I.E.N.D.S

[hocus pocus]

I've been listening to music and watching TV.

[Sophrosyne]

I ate stir fry rice and watched house.

[Palmolive]

I'm getting ready to meet my social worker.

[Sophrosyne]

And never mind. Obviously I need bigger distractions. I used pen for most of it though so I wouldn't actually be hurting myself although there was a few with the blade. So technically its back to 0 days again/

[Calaer]

Watching my favorite TV show and playing with Ava and her blocks.

[Palmolive]

Seen my GP and sat watching TV and being on here.

[Sophrosyne]

I listened to fight song instead.

[Kintsukuroi.]

I went on a hike.

[hocus pocus]

I watered the plants instead.

[Sophrosyne]

I wandered around outside for ages then listened to music.

[Calaer]

By reading my scriptures.

[Palmolive]

Putting on face masks and on here.

[WildHeart98]

For me, I threw out all of my blades and began to use things like ice cubes and elastic bands whenever I felt the urge to cut.

For me a lot of the reason behind my self harm is anger ( both at other people and at myself) so I have taken up boxing and have a punching bag in garage now so I just head down there and take my anger out on that or maybe go out to the local stables to see if they need help exercising horses or mucking out stalls. A nice gallop over the fields is a great way to clear your head!

[Just Peachy.]

Remembering why I stopped and why my over all life and future is better without it

[hocus pocus]

Sleeping and cuddling with my cats.

[Palmolive]

Writing in my journal.
