Tips on how to stop

[Angel Blossom]

Hey everyone i just wanted to share some of my tips that have worked for me to stop self harming. One thing you can do is whenever you feel the urge to self harm take a pen and draw a line on your arm. that might be triggering for some of you so if it is dont do it please. I find it helps if you listen to music r jsut relax.

something else I've heard is to take a rubber band, and smack yourself in the wrist with the rubber band. So instead of going the extreme route with actual cutting, you can wean yourself off of it by doing less painful things.

There are many things that you can do to stop but really you've gotta have the will power to really stop.

I Used elastic bands, Holding ice til it melts, Punching pillows, Screaming into pillows, Punching hard objects, scratching, Pulling out hair.
That's just a few that i used but in the end i just said to myself that i can't afford to do this **** and then i stopped cold turkey outright.
