Hey there

I am sorry that things are tough for you right now. But keep using the alternatives. Every one is different and Self Harms for a different reason. So the same alternatives don't work for everyone. Keep trying them till you find the ones that work for you.

At the same time you need to confront the underlying issues because of which you are having these urges. Self Harm is a response to these issues and to completely overcome it, you need to resolve these issues first. Try writing down your feelings and talking about them. It will give you a perspective and help you tackle things better. Also, if required, don't hesitate to talk to a professional about this as they can guide you a lot.

If you need someone to talk to, please PM/VM me anytime.
Stay strong
