Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
 
By taking a step back and looking at all the people who love me. Who truly love me. The people who accept me and who love me when I can't love myself. I'm not alone in this fight. It's hard to see that sometimes, but it's true. None of us are ever alone. Sometimes, you've just got to take a step back and take a look around.

I'm beating SH by treating myself to a hair cut and some nail polish. It might seem kinda silly, but I always feel better after I've gotten my hair cut, and nail polish is pretty. :p

Painting my nails and tracing over drawings. It looks really cool when finished.

Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
 
I have now succeeded in painting all my nails including toes. And I put music on and danced randomly around the house. And jumped on my bed. Trying to think of ideas for poems and songs. It takes a lot now. It is fun though. I was too exhausted to do anything afterwards.

I'm beating SH by writing it out in my journal. I bought two new ones yesterday, and I'm thankful about it.

Just going over my nails when they scratch or something. And writing letters to my psychologist.

Listening to music and doing Sudoku's. Getting excited over the fact that my mum is having foxtel installed into our house and now I can watch doctor who marathons. :D

I'm beating SH by reminding myself that it's not the end of the world, and that I'm going to be okay.

I took a shower and I'll probably paint my nails later to keep me busy.

Staying busy with housework so I won't have the chance.

Its a fight but I am strong and I know all of you are too, just reward your self, one day, two day, three days, and so on, just make the reward bigger. Its what I am doing and when i reach 18 days I have a trip for myself *school too* for a college tour. I don't know if it will work for you all, but its an idea

I'm beating SH by reminding myself that God has a plan for me, and that plan does not include me doing something harmful to myself. That so long as I place my faith in him, he will deliver me from this sadness, and this addiction. I'll be okay. We will all be okay.

By finding some DIY projects to do with Ava! :) When I'm down, I love to spend lots of 'Momma/Ava' time with her. I love to look up some 'easy' DIY projects for us to do. I also like to pull out the sewing machine and work on some small one-day projects.

I played Man Bites Dog and mini hockey with my brother. :)

I try to think differently about how people would feel if they found out about my cuts. It's not fun believe me. Someone saw my cuts about a month ago and took all my blades and harmful tools away. Now I haven't cut since.

Sophrosyne November 12th 2015 08:13 PM

Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
 
Painting my nails and distracting myself, putting it off basically.

I watched a movie instead.

Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
 
I'm beating self harm by following my faith, and praying to the Lord for strength and courage to carry on. I know that when I'm feeling down, I always find peace in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
