How are you beating Self Harm?

I posted in the wrong thread...so ignore my last post. I take it one day at a time and go minute by minute

[Evanesco]

I am getting a bracelet when I get to one month. I have to keep going to prove that I'm stronger than my ex thinks I am. I have to prove that I am strong and can be without him, and that he isn't still in control.

I am watching monty python

[Tigerlily.]

I'm also taking part in the bracelet project like Hester, I have one all made that I am very proud of and I cannot wait to wear it! Just a few more days, I can do this!

[.:PrincessZelda:.]

I'm going to add one orange bead to my bracelet tomorrow to mark one month of being self harm free.

[Squiggly]

I am also going to take part in the bracelet thing by making myself a bracelet once I get to one month and a new one each month I think it will work well. It also helps that I have been trying for quite a while to stop and each time I make it further and I am really determined.

[Lumos.]

I'm just on TH. also might do the bracelet thing.

[Ella.x]

I just keep telling myself that the more I self harm, the longer it will be till I'm fit for work again. I really miss work.

I have a cousin, Andrew, thats in jail. And we made a promis, i dont cut, he stays out a trouble. And my boyfriend helps me and lets me talk and tell him bout how i want to and why i should and everything im feeling when i want to. And i have another friend, he says if i cut, he'll do twice as many cuts.....so i have a lot of support

[.:PrincessZelda:.]

I go on Teenhelp or watch videos on youtube

[Magical Forest.]

I don't know what i'm doing, but whatever it is it's working.
1 year 3 months.

[Disappearing]

A large combination of things.. Mostly talking to people who hold me to my promise I made myself to not get back into that pattern again.

Right now, I'm talking to my best friend, which helps with the urges. Recently, I've just been too busy to worry about hiding cuts, so that's motivation not to make any more of them.

My way of alternatives is I use a rubber band. It releases emotions that I'd normally release with SH. It feels good to feel the snap of the band on my wrist.
Try it

[Tigereyes]

Haven't been able to find anything to hurt myself with

[¯|_(ツ)_|¯]

I listened to LIGHTS. <3

[Celaena-Sardothian]

A friend and I decided that a good way to help me stop was saying that if I cut, I had to do something that I really didn't want to do, in my case, telling my aunt or uncle that I cut And because telling them is the worst thing I can think of, and I promised that I would (which means I absolutely have to), I haven't cut. Hopefully, that will last

[.:PrincessZelda:.]

Exercising, listening to music, or watching tv

[Le Papillon]

itd just be an inconveinance for when i go to the gym.

[craz33me]

My boyfriend's motivating me.

[Agony]

My friends and boyfriend are helping me...music helps too

[¯|_(ツ)_|¯]

I called Live Help. Thank you to the two wonderful LHOs who listened to me the past two-ish days, means a lot!

[Ella.x]

I'm putting it off for another hour and trying to do some mindfulness.

[Lumos.]

I have been listening to music or reading.

[Ella.x]

I made a calm jar, blew up a load of balloons and started an alcohol/self harm diary to help keep on top of things

[Le Papillon]

getting to see my best friend, and staying clean for her

[¯|_(ツ)_|¯]

I went to sleep.

[Le Papillon]

talking to my friends who understand

[Ella.x]

I am going to drive 2 hours to see my friend who is in hospital tomorrow and then drive 2 hours back. Because she is amazing

[.:PrincessZelda:.]

I exercise or listen to music

[That Girl Who Likes Glee]

I put a cube of ice on the place I want to cut. It only works sometimes, but it's better than nothing.

[Tigereyes]

I exercised while listening to music that fit my mood, made brownies, then played around on the piano.

[Le Papillon]

ging to beccas and watching anime. then talking to people bout random stuff. a lot of anime included in that. and get my hair cut.

[Philomath]

Writing a paper.

[Evanesco]

I can't find my knife, and I'm not letting myself look for it.

[Celaena-Sardothian]

I have way too much studying to do to make time for cutting . . . annoying, but it works.

[Lumos.]

If i get an urge i read. or come on TH.
You're doing great everyone! Keep fighting this.

[Ceinwyn]

Honestly, I just put my knife down and refused to pick it back up. haven't cut since

[Ella.x]

I bought an exercise bike, so I can punish myself with exercise instead of self harm

[Le Papillon]

talking to Will and Christina<3

[Evanesco]

I'm taking calls on live help, eating chocolate and ignoring the urges.
