Hey there,

First off, welcome to TeenHelp, and congratulations on taking such a big step in seeking help with your Self Harm.

Here, there's a resource of Alternatives, which you can access quickly at www.teenhelp.org/alternatives; it offers a massive list if things to try, so give some of them a go - not everything works for everyone, but hopefully you can find something that works better than what you've already tried.

Another major thing, though, is that the cause of your self harm needs to have gone. You may be getting urges out of habit now, but I'm sure something will have caused it to begin with. If you haven't already, you need to get support to ensure that stops as well, so that you're happier.

I wish you the best of luck on your journey to recovery; remember, throughout it all, ups and downs, TeenHelp is here for you. Anytime you like - for a chat, rant or for advice and support, feel free to PM me (there's a link below this post in my signature) and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
