I try to stop, but I can't... Help?

Giving up self-harm of any kind can be real difficult... it's great you're trying to stop though:) I've heard lots of things that people say help them, and it's usually a bit different for everybody. I personally find that listening to music that helps me vent, drawing on myself with a (red) pen, or getting some exercise can help. I've heard that other people will write in a journal, hold ice cubes to their skin (creates pain, but isn't harmful), talk to a friend, or work on a hobby to make the urges and temptation a little more bearable. Maybe you could find something you enjoy to do instead of hurting yourself.

Good luck, and hang in there:)
