Re: Self Harm alternatives?? HELP - August 24th 2016, 08:11 PM

If you're looking for alternatives I highly recommend this thread: http://www.teenhelp.org/forums/f12-s...ves-self-harm/

Some of the things I do:

-Watch movies
-Go for a walk
-Pull out a slip of paper from my positivity jar
-Shake up a calming jar that I made
-Read a book
-Write
-Play with my cat
-Talk to my friends

I personally found the rubber band thing didn't work for me because it caused too much of the sensation of self harm, however, it does work for other people.

You'll get through this, I have faith in you! This stuff has helped me 8 months tomorrow


Resilient
1. (of a person or animal) able to withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions.
2. (of a substance or object) able to recoil or spring back into shape after bending, stretching, or being compressed.

We all possess resilience, we just need to realize it.
