Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
I took a jog in a tank top in the freezing cold last night to get a similar sensation. And in a little bit, I'm going to draw on myself with a red marker.

Held ice until my hands went numb, beat up a pillow, went for a run/walk, texted a friend.
|
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
Rambling on to a friend all night, not really about support but just about random things. I still fear cutting, though, but it's helping me get through not sleeping all night and through the morning before school.

Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
One coping method I find good is to avoid certain types of music that will trigger my past; I just turn it off if it's on the radio. I also avoid violent movies and spooky stuff.

Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
I run down the hallways in the dark blasting music in my ears, and I scream cuss words when people aren't around :p
|
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
Playing songs on the piano :). I'm trying. I really am.
|
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
I got a kitten to celebrate 6 months self-harm free, and he's the perfect therapy cat. Snuggling with him always calms me down when I'm having urges.
|
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
I threw out my razors and never looked back. I had a lot of days I wanted to go back to cutting but I knew that I was made of more and I could get through it. I have been self-harm free for 7 years now.
|
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
I signed a no harm contract. /sigh
Silly me. |
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
I've written a lot of poems lately; and I might hold ice in a little bit if this urge gets any worse. I'm listening to music, and I'm sitting with my adorable cat. ^.^

Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
I talk to my friends, doodle random things, and listen to my favourite music. Oh, and write a poem too. :D
|
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
Chat with my rp-friend. She's like a drug of happiness.
|
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
I made myself stay in bed under my electric blanket that was on high so I felt got instead of cutting. I think it only worked because I was watching Pretyy Little Liars on Netflix along with it.

Trying not to cut because i'm hopefully getting to see my best friend this next weekend, and i've been reading all day. :)

Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
I ran about 5.5 miles with a friend, getting totally lost once along the way, which made the whole thing more fun. I also drew on my arm instead of self harming.

Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
I watched a movie and painted my nails. :D
|
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
Texted my friend and refused to let myself move

Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
Instead of going home and self-harming when I'm hurting over something, I probe my feeling ands try and figure out exactly why it's hurting me and in exactly what way... it sounds weird but often just trying to come to terms with the mental pain distracts me from converting it into a physical one. This is something I've learned through therapy and through almost five years of giving up my beloved SH but it's very effective. In fact it worked tonight and I'm one day closer to being five years free on Feb 17th.
