I made a list of things I can do to express myself without cutting.

Honestly...I'm not. I am trying really hard to not self-harm...But what usually helps is when I want to cut I write song lyrics that mean a lot to me on my arms.
That god does not exist, I cannot deny
That my whole being cries out for a god, I cannot forget.
The gates of Heaven were locked shut. The pits of Hell, they were all filled up. And I fear I don't belong here.....
How could someone so perfect feel so insecure? As to scar her skin with cuts and burns and still want to hurt more. How does someone so loving learn to hate her own guts? Drawing a picture on her arm with a blade, as if her mind wasn't dark enough

I'm beating SH by praying for strength, keeping myself distracted, and keeping my goals in mind.

I've been trying to do assignments that I usually procrastinate doing, but that just makes me bored so doing them gives me something to do. Taking my dog for walks, and watching youtubers also helps.

Listened to music for some time and now I'll try to sleep
It's ok to give in to an urge or make a mistake. You are only human and we all have our flaws. We all have our weak moments and we all make mistakes. Thats what makes us human.
Thats what makes us unique and beautiful
Courage isn't always a loud roar. Sometimes it is a quiet whisper at the end of a day saying: Tomorrow I will try it again!

Listening to music and being around my friend.
Probably take a shower soon and then write for a bit or go painting if the urge is still strong.

If feel like cutting then writing how I feel about myself on a piece of paper then ripping it to shreads helps because those words are not true.

I like to write on my wrist with black, red, or blue marker. I sometimes write "I'm not okay" to express strong feelings, or I'll write "never give up" to make myself feel happy and not want to cut over those words.

I've been sewing buttons for a blanket I am making for my nephew. I am also doing a little bit of reflection and will start to put more work into working on my goals and myself.
Also, 95% reduced isolating and been spending more time in the living room and dinning room with my dog.
My next steps is to start to go for more walks with Bentley.

Telling myself that it's not worth it to break my streak now and it's to cold to get up and get my tools, so I'll stay where I am. Safe and warm in my blanket and just cry and feel like shit till it goes away....
It's ok to give in to an urge or make a mistake. You are only human and we all have our flaws. We all have our weak moments and we all make mistakes. Thats what makes us human.
Thats what makes us unique and beautiful
