My family had people over yesterday so I stayed busy. And I've been chewing on ice. :p

By punching it on the face! >:D

I'm beating SH by reminding myself that I'm not alone in this. I have a family who truly cares for my well being, and that I can always lean on them when I'm struggling.

I've been "studying" aka getting distracted and exploring the Narnia of youtube.

I'm beating SH by reminding myself that the world truly is a beautiful place, if I make it so.

A few weeks ago my friend got upset with me because I wouldn't stop cutting. I was tired of making people so angry with me so this is what I did: I wrote a promise on a piece of paper and signed my name that I will never cut myself again. She was happy to see that. I hate lying and I NEVER break promises. So it works. :)

Studying and finishing up my course work. :nosweat:

I'm beating SH by staying focused on other things, such as cleaning, playing with Ava, playing Sims, or hanging out with friends. Something that I can really give all my attention.

I'm beating SH by staying focused on other things I have to do, such as clean the house, or by playing with Ava.

Talking to my family, shaking my calming jar, writing, reading, watching movies, and drawing butterflies on my skin.

I went to the water park. :D

Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
 
I'm beating SH by praying for strength when I think that I have none. Playing with Ava when I need reminded that I have a reason to be strong, and talking to Jordan about it when I have doubts that I am not loved in this world. My Lord, and my family will never fail me.

Staying distracted, waiting for crisis team to call after my visit and going to AA soon.

Calaer August 30th 2015 03:37 PM

Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
 
I'm beating SH by staying focused on daily activities, playing video games, and praying for the strength to get passed this.

Watching TV and listening to music. :headphones:

Calling loved ones every time the urges get too strong. It's not my preferred method of coping, but it's what is working right now.

I went for a walk in the rain. :nosweat:

I'm beating SH by staying focused on the more important things. I'll clean, play with Ava, play video games.

Waiting to see Crisis team and sorting through my room.

I've been playing board games with my brother. :)

I'm beating SH by keeping myself busy. Even though I've not done anything in a very long time, I still struggle, and some days are harder than others.

I took a step back from what was triggering me.

Calaer September 4th 2015 05:12 PM

Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
 
I'm beating SH by taking a step forward in my life. I'm turning the page to a new chapter and I've never been more excited.

I've been staying out of the house and talking to my therapist.

Calaer September 5th 2015 09:01 AM

Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
 
I pray for the strength to keep my head up in the darkest of times. Even though I've been clean, I still struggle to want that back. SH CAN become an addiction, and I think God that it's one that I've broken, even if I still crave it every once and again.

Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
 
I've been downloading a lot of music and I went out for a bit.

I've been doing a lot of cleaning around the house.

I'm beating SH by writing in my journal. Sometimes it helps more than anything else that I do.

I've been cuddling with my cats.

I'm beating SH by baking yummy treats. :) It's always nice to do something to keep your hands busy, as well as having something sweet to eat!

I went for a drive.

I've been using an adult coloring book app and I just ordered some sharpies and two adult coloring books. Hoping that they will help when I am feeling triggered.
