I read as a distraction as well. :D I've got through so many books recently, it's crazy.

I've been asking for a butterfly every time I see Justine, and I don't want to kill them since they're always so pretty :).

I don't ever want to hear my boyfriend say he's not enough to make me stop. So I'm stopping, because he's so, so wrong...

I wrote the lyrics to "Rise Above This" by Seether on my arm. The part that goes "I've fallen down but I'll rise above this." and a blob of a butterfly. So now I am trying not to cut until the lyrics fade. :D I hope I can make it!

Love. I remind myself that I can love and that does not make me the monster I believe I am. I remind myself of this verse in a poem I once wrote:
As you draw that blade,
Across your skin,
He grows a scar,
Just the same as yours.

And I just sort of stop thinking.

I distract myself with writing, chilling with friends, drawing and painting... that kind of thing. If the urges get terrible, I band, not cut :)

I remind myself J will write a message to me soon, or I remind myself of when I'm going to meet him. I'd rather not be covered in scars when I run into his arms.

I like to work out. When it's light outside, I'll take a walk around campus. There's this really great alcove with these cool pillars and I like to go sit there or take pics of them because they're cool. I also listen to music.

I've been feeling sad sometimes through-out this week so when I want to cut, I think of my best friend and it stops me. :) It's helped me 14 days so far.

This is how strong love can be. <3

instead of cutting; crying myself to sleep at night time.
I'm a freaking emotional wreck when it comes to dealing with the emotions that cause me to self harm.

Having my youth group friends remind me what happened on camp and the promises God has in store for me if the best way I'm beating it at the moment. And it's getting easier :D

Instead of crying because of depression, i'll just gotta listen to cheerful music while your out of town with your family and friends. :) :)

I don't want my ex to blame himself. Since it's not his fault anyway.

Thinking that I don't deserve to hurt myself because of something they did. That every time I cut, they win. Every day I don't, I win.

Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
 
I've hidden my blades under my bed in a box with a bunch of photographs of happy days in my life. That way when I feel tempted, I have to put myself through the effort of rummaging through photographs of myself and my friends. It makes me think more about why I feel the need to cut and it makes me stop :)
