How are you beating Self Harm?

[hocus pocus]

I completed over a dozen assignments for class.

[Calaer]

By baking sweet treats for everyone. Seeing everyone else smile makes me smile.

[hocus pocus]

I worked on a present for someone.

[Calaer]

I'm beating self harm by surrounding myself with the things and people I love.

[hocus pocus]

I've been drawing, and I took a walk.

[Lionheart]

I'm dancing to my favourit music and jumping around the room

[Calaer]

I'm beating self harm by watching my favorite shows, as well as planning for all the nice future things we have to look forward too!

[Sophrosyne]

I bought myself several dresses so i have something to look forward to when the scars fade. It keeps me from making more because i want to wear the dresses.

[Ral.]

I'm trying to beat self-harm by making new friends on TH.

[Calaer]

I'm beating SH by keeping myself busy with cleaning, as well as playing with Ava a lot. If I keep myself surrounded by the things I love, I tend not to get as down, and there's nothing I love more, than Ava.

[Chai.]

Sitting here and convincing myself to reach the 200 day goal. 12 more days to go.

[Calaer]

I'm beating SH by playing with Ava, and by playing Fallout.

[nouedis]

The best way I'm defeating it is by basically working out and smoking some bud and drinking a little bit here and there. Also traveling and meeting new people.

[Kintsukuroi.]

I've been writing and I tidied my room up!

[TheTameLion]

Well, I only let myself have one razer at a time (I buy in packs of 2 and throw one away... wasteful I know but it works) so if I try to break it open, then I can't shave my face.... I am also very compulsive with my SH and don't think about it before I just kinds do it and if I don't break it open then it's really challenging to cut and by the time I break the skin I'm already calmed down a bit.

[Calaer]

I'm beating self harm by reminding myself how far I've come since I felt like I had to cut. I've come such a long way, and I'm so proud of myself for that.

[......nobody]

Going to work.

[Calaer]

My reminding myself that I have people who love me, even when I do not love myself.

[Kintsukuroi.]

I went for a walk and wrote.

[Calaer]

By keeping my focus on cooking muffins.

[¯|_(ツ)_|¯]

I avoided going into the bathroom when my urges were strongest.

[Calaer]

I'm beating SH by staying focused on playing with Ava, and while she is taking a nap, I try and play a video game, do some chores, or read a book.

[Kintsukuroi.]

I went outside to go on the swings.

[Calaer]

I'm beating self harm by reminding myself of all the progress I've made, and how I don't want to give all that up for just a 'temporary high'

[hocus pocus]

By listening to music and watching TV.

[Palmolive]

Listening to music and just self soothed with a nice bath.

[Astrophile.]

watching movies.

[Kintsukuroi.]

By taking a walk in the rain to clear my head.

[happymonkey]

When I first started cutting, my mom noticed the scars, but didn't know where I kept my razor and knew that even if she found it I could probably just get another one. A few months after I'd been clean from cutting for a while and all of my wounds had healed, she was cleaning my bathroom and found my rusty old blood covered razor blade in my cabinet and threw it out. I only found out when I came home and it was clearly missing without me having moved it. At first I freaked out a little bit knowing that my mom had found my blade and knowing that I really didn't have an outlet to cut anymore, but it was that simple gesture that kept me from cutting ever again.

[Calaer]

I'm beating SH by surrounding myself with love from my family and friends.

[hocus pocus]

I've been trying to get myself out of the house.

[Calaer]

I'm beating SH by keeping myself busy. I'll cook, clean, play with Ava, and when Ava is asleep and the house is clean, I'll play a video game till she wakes up.

[Kintsukuroi.]

I listened to music and skyped with a friend.

[Calaer]

I'm beating SH by talking it out when I get upset or triggered. I've found that if I talk to Jordan about it and explain to him what's going on, he's always there to comfort me and make me feel better after words.

[Not_here]

I signed up for free courses on open learning. I will be learning first aid/CPR which will then hopefully help me get a babysitting job even though I wouldn't have been "certified" per se.
I will try making a script for the puppet show. I will try writing (hah! as if)

[Kintsukuroi.]

I'm taking my dog for yet another walk.

[Sophrosyne]

Im not apparently.

[Ral.]

By telling myself than I can fix my relationship with the person that means most to me if I do this.

[Kintsukuroi.]

I went outside and sat on top of the monkey bars so I wasn't near anything I could hurt myself with.

[Calaer]

I'm beating SH by focusing on a goal that I've had for awhile, but haven't put forth the effort to achieve. I find that if I stay focused, I'm less inclined to get triggered for to have the urge to SH.
