Triggering: How are you beating self harm? Vol 2

[Ennui.]

Yesterday I volunteered at the health department instead and today I scrolled through Tumblr.

Today I read my textbook and did the dishes.

Wrote some stuff
Prepped a bit
I have read a bit and will continue reading

[Ennui.]

I ranted to a certain someone and also reminded myself I have to wear light colors soon at an event.

I was able to talk about random things with my boyfriend.
Going to make a pizza which I have been wanting to try for a while.

Petting my cat.

Today I drew and painted my nails.

Listening to music

Hanging out with my partner.

[Ennui.]

I watched Hulu and talked to someone to distract myself until I fell asleep.

I've just been kind of relaxing and reading a lot since my semester is over (until the summer one starts!) I've been watching TV and I want to distract myself with movies too.

I am watching TV and I read a bit earlier. I am thinking of writing something later as well.

Putting all my energy into doing well on finals.

Sitting with my boyfriend. We are also going to watch TV a bit later.

I think I am going to go back to sleep for an hour or two.

I read and listened to music

I read and later I am going to go do something in order to get out of the house.

Getting ready for the meeting and talking to my boyfriend about things that are making me anxious.

Staying safe because I have a movie I want to see later tonight. If I harm myself I'll be unlikely to see the movie.

Also thinking about my job and the fact that I need to be healthy to maintain it.

Tbh I just gave all my blades to my friend and he flushed them down the toilet for me. Don't know what I'd do without you, Cameron.

I don't have a way to calm myself down or anything. Ranting on paper on occasion. But not much else.

[Storyteller.]

Watching a livestream and trying to knock a couple of small things off my to-do list.

I got out of the house; went to book club and went shopping. It helped to distract myself in that manner.

I read until I couldn't and then I took a shower.

[Nala.]

I watched some TV.

I made myself breakfast, have been utilizing TH and I read a bit. I think I am probably going to go ahead and read a bit more to try and meet my goal of getting this book finished by tomorrow.

Talking to friends on social media.

Reminding myself that I have a lot of good things coming up and I can't sabotage it!

Hanging out with my partner and her son.

Talking to my boyfriend about the anxiety I've been having.

Drinking tea with my partner.

I took a shower and after I comb my hair I am going to try and read a bit

Doing stuff on teenhelp and then I might try and go back to sleep or read a bit.

I'm either going to go back to sleep or go read a chapter of my book

Working and preparing for lunch. It helps I'm out of the house

Distracting with work and looking forward to the weekend.

One of the most effective ways to avoid such thoughts is to work out. Yes. Working out is the answer for all the negativity that you may experience.

Channelize all that energy and negativity towards exercising and cardio. It gives you immense power at the gym. Once you see the results, you'll feel so much positive and realize that those negative thoughts and self harming was not worth the person you've become.

Trying not to overthink or let the nightmare I had freak me out too much.

Contemplating readimg but might try and go back to bed.

Reminding myself I have work
Getting dressed for work
Reminding myself that self harm has to wait a while because of work.

(not a perfect solution but it's helping)

Trying not to let the nightmare get to me.

Trying to decide on the book I want to start.
