Triggering: How are you beating self harm? Vol 2

[Kintsukuroi.]

I took my dog for a run.

I just put some of my favorite music on and I am going to make myself breakfast.

Listening to music and reading
I went for a drive earlier and it calmed me a bit
Reminding myself of the things I have to get done and reminding myself that self harm will, likely, prevent me from doing those things

Going to go read. I might only get 10 pages read but that is okay.

[hocus pocus]

I’ve been reading and today I am going to talk to my therapist.

I read about 80-100 pages of my book
Going to watch a movie/show with my boyfriend soon too.

I am going to make some breakfast and read while I eat.

I will be going to a therapy appointment

Listening to music. Waiting for a package to come. Going to read. I think I need to find a different book to read because I haven't been drawn to reading it quite yet!

I was watching Youtube videos.

I am going to go check the mail and after that I think I'll read for 15-20 minutes.

I have errands to run and some things I need to try and write up too.

Hoping to be able to distract myself with both of those things.

Going to get up and watch a few things. I'm anxious lying here. Maybe I'll be able to fall back to sleep after

[Storyteller.]

Talking to a friend about it.

I might try and sleep. My anxiety seems to be calming down so I might be able to get to bed.
If not I'll probably read my book. Looks like this one has short-ish chapters so I am hopeful I'll be able to get through it even if I end up not enjoying it!

I have been keeping busy with school lately, but now it's finally spring break.

Mostly browsing TH and Facebook. Would go to bed but have to pick my boyfriend up tonight. Hope he gets out early so I can take my meds and sleep.

I felt really crappy about a situation and I sent my dad a text about it. He was receptive which is a good thing. Not sure how we will proceed but I think we could try and figure it out.

Chatting on TH

Looking into something and contemplating messaging some family about it to see if they'd have people who would be open to talking at some point. It's a good distraction.

Watching youtube videos

Idk. I just harm other things; like random stuff around the house. Probably not completely dealt with, with it's a start lol

[Nala.]

Came back to TeenHelp and I'm gonna do some math later.

I went out and ran some errands. I did get a stronger urge while out but by the time I drove home it had gone away.

[Ennui.]

Watching Invader Zim.

I talked to a relative

[Nala.]

Grocery shopping.

I went shopping and even though it made me slightly anxious I was able to get out of the house and that kept me distracted long enough to not cut.

[Nala.]

I just woke up about an hour ago and I'm planning out my day so that I don't have any empty spaces to think about urges.

I read and took anxiety medication.

[Nala.]

Trying out some different styles with make-up and experimenting. It is distracting for sure.

[hocus pocus]

I've been unsuccessfully trying to sleep.

I read for a bit and ate breakfast. Now I am browsing TH and will probably continue to read after.

Reminding myself that I have things to do and I can't spare the energy needed for healing if I self harm

and snuggling with my little elf owl and giant owl (stuffed animals)

Going out to dinner with one of my partners. Talking with my other partner about my feelings.

[Nala.]

Baking cookies.

Listening to music. Doing homework.

[Nala.]

Studying and making math flashcards.

Blogging and planning for the future.

[SerenitysAngel]

I often listen music, read, draw, or hang out with what most people call "friends"

Browsing TH
Listening to music
Planning to take my medication if the anxiety gets too overwhelming.
