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

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

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!

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
 
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 July 8th 2015 04:09 PM

Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
 
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.

Going to work.

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

Kintsukuroi. July 12th 2015 06:08 AM

I went for a walk and wrote.

By keeping my focus on cooking muffins. :p

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

Calaer July 18th 2015 03:56 PM

Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
 
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.

I went outside to go on the swings.

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 July 24th 2015 04:27 PM

Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
 
By listening to music and watching TV.

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

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

Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
 
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.:D

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

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

Calaer July 29th 2015 12:49 PM

Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
 
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. July 31st 2015 06:59 AM

Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
 
I listened to music and skyped with a friend.

Calaer July 31st 2015 01:55 PM

Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
 
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.

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)

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

Kintsukuroi. August 2nd 2015 08:15 AM

Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
 
I went outside and sat on top of the monkey bars so I wasn't near anything I could hurt myself with.

Calaer August 2nd 2015 05:00 PM

Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
 
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.
