Self harm free Q & A
 
August will be three years self harm free for me. I was thinking of writing an article that's basically questions and answers. People or someone can ask me some questions about recovery and I could answer them openly/honestly. It might be a good way to provide insight into recovery.

That sounds like a great idea for people wanting to recover from self-harm. How many questions are you thinking we should ask? Maybe I can think of some and some others can think of more and we can combine them.

I'll answer and all questions. I haven't come up with a solid number on how many we should have. We should probably try and have a minimum of 5.

One question I was thinking of using is 'What made you decide to recover?'

One question I can think of is: when you say SH free do you mean every self-harm method or just one?

The reason I ask this. Is because I will be 2 years cut free in may but not completely sh free.

I think it's a great idea to write an article on your recovery and how far you have come since last SHing. I do have a question in mind, but would rather take my time composing a list if that is ok with you. :)

I'd be happy for any and all questions. You can take your time coming up with them.

I think that's a good question to ask. I used to be one type of SH free but not another as well. Using that question in the article could be eye opening to our readers.

Something I wanted to add on to "When did you decide to recover?" would be whether or not there was a certain defining moment or event that contributed to your decision.

Re: Self harm free Q & A
 
I am just compiling some of the questions:


When you say self harm free do you mean every method or just one?
When did you decide to recover?
Was there a defining moment or event that contributed to you decision to recover?
What are some of the things that helped you to recover?
Do you still hang on to your self harm tools or was getting rid of them part of your recovery?

I had more I wanted to add but forgot to write them down. The last two are some I came up with.

Just an idea but what about having a question along the lines of ‘what to do when your distractions etc are not working ?’

I do like the question about distractions not working too. Maybe you could include that with "What do you to do get past self-harm urges?"

A question I thought of "How did you learn to let go of the desire to feel pain" I think a lot of people who recover struggle with their desire to feel pain. I can mention alternatives here but there was more to it for me so I would be open to sharing. We can also change the question around if someone has a better way of stating it.

I am going to attempt to write this in the next few weeks. I have a busy few weeks coming up but I am hoping to get this written by the end of May.


If anyone has any other questions I am opening to answering pretty much anything.

This is going to be my project for the month of June. I'll try and get it up in the next few weeks and then maybe we could get it published for July or August. :)
