Yeah, I'm a male SHer. You most certainly are not alone.
What do I do to fight the urges? Usually, music and talking through it with somebody helps. An important thing for fighting the urges is consistently distracting yourself - whether that be with TV/movies, books, video games, music, whatever it is you find that helps.

I'm another male self harmer. You are by no means alone. To "fight the urges" I mainly try to distract myself, but that doesn't always work. Usually that's by music, talking to others, watching tv, reading, really anything that will get my mind off of it. So please don't think you're alone in that. As for telling your friends, yeah they may be a little weirded out, so if you tell someone choose who that is carefully--I told my best friend and he's doing his best to help me out of this addiction to self harm. All of us here on VT are here to support you too, and we always will be. If you ever need to talk, we're all here for you and are more than willing to help you through this, a lot of us have been in the same position as you :)

I am a male self-harmer aswell. As far advice towards fighting the urges, I'm not much help. but yeah what these other people are saying is useful, like music or just something to occupy your time.

Yeah I'm male, 15, self harmer as well. I don't fight it, I submit to the monster inside me.

[xXJust Jump ItXx]

I am.

[West Coast Sheriff]

Me also and nothing better but I use pills.

I'm ashamed of what I've become.

[Haunted]

Exactly. I feel the same way I'm ashamed of what I've become too.

I used to self harm from The end of 2010 'til April this year. It is very hard to stop. Things That helped me were just distracting myself in any way I possibly could. The hardest times were when I was alone at night, that's when I had the most urges. I still get urges sometimes and have even held a blade to my skin, there have been some hard times. Music helped me a lot too. Without it I would have been so much more fucked up.

I am a male self harmer aswell and for me I don't usually try and fight the urges to be honest as I'm not ready to stop at the moment.
