First off congrats for trying not to self harm, that is a big accomplishment in of itself. There are a few different things you can do while trying to over come an urge. Definitely check out our Alternatives thread for ideas on what to do when you have an urge. Another thread to check out is our Relaxation Techniques thread. Creating some sort of relaxation routine can greatly reduce stress, and the less stress you have, possibly the less likely you will have an urge to self harm. Also just keep thinking on why you are doing this, replaying that reason on your mind can help you focus on why you are stopping, and gives you a sense of direction. It is hard to stop self harming, but it is completely worth it in the end. You become a stronger and healthier person because of it. You can do it. And remember we are always here when you need someone to talk to. : )

Hey Jessi.
It's normal to have a hard time when you're trying not to cut, and it's definitely a struggle. I think it's important, though, that you remember that you're not alone in this. There are a lot of people who are going through this right now. And if you spend a lot of time on the boards, you'll definitely see that. I'd check out the alternatives thread previously given to you, definitely. It's also full of distractions that can help you get your mind off of self harm. Try doing something to keep your hands and mind busy. Talk yourself out of your urges. Those are all things that may help. I believe in you, and I know you can get past this! I'm always here if you ever need a chat. Take care. x  A lonely soul in a land of broken hearts  |
