Hey there,

First of all, I am so glad that you have been having a good week! Even though you have had this urge it is amazing that things have been going mostly well for you.

I think that I can relate at least a bit to what you are saying because sometimes I'll find myself having the urge to self harm even though nothing bad has been going on. So, you're definitely not the only one!

Maybe since you can't go out, you can find some exercises to do just within your bedroom? My therapist always told me to either pace or run back and forth and do some jumping jacks, which isn't really something noisy to do!

I know you've seen the alternatives list before, though, and maybe you should start trying some of the things on there so you have things you can do at night when you can't go biking, though.

You can get through this!
