I'm beating self harm by remembering all the reasons there are for why I would regret it later on.

I got my friend to write on me, I just didn't tell her why. She has this thing about writing her signature all over me haha but I don't mind. It's getting pretty hard though.
I also wrote in my school diary on the 3 weeks mark so I have a reason to get through till the next day and a goal to reach for. Well it is tomorrow but still, I might not make it till then anyway.

Trying to get some 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!

Oh gosh. I've cried, a lot. Talked my team. Having crisis contact over weekend. Using mindfulness. Distracting. Using Cognitive diffusion and distress tolerance skills.
And thinking of my mum and sister.

Singing to a music track. And trying to do the harmony. Which was lots of fun seeing as I had no idea what half of it was. But I got it in the end haha

By staying focused on something, such as working out, reading my scriptures, or cleaning the house. I also remind myself of the future I want, and realize that my future has no room for SH.

Drawing red lines on my arms
Do you wanna come with me? 'Cause if you do, then I should warn you - you're gonna see all sorts of things. Ghosts from the past. Aliens from the future. The day the Earth died in a ball of flame. It won't be quiet, it won't be safe, and it won't be calm. But I'll tell you what it will be: The trip of a lifetime!
Don't trust a perfect person and don't trust a song that's flawless.
RIP Granddad Terry. I'll miss you.
