I'm sorry to hear you self-harmed again. But, remember, relapses happen and it's ok! The important thing is trying to take advantage of what you have around you as a source of distraction. For example, if you feel the urge to SH again, try to go color, play a video game, read a book, call a friend. This will take your mind off the urge and thoughts.

TeenHelp has the Alternatives to Self-Harm list here, so I suggest taking a look at that and perhaps bookmark it for future reference. It's also a useful tool for other things as well, not necessarily just SH; it might be useful in moments of anxiety or anger as well.

You've got this.
