Hey! welcome to vt!
Ok there are ways to stop but they require will power with them.
1) Snap Elastic bands on your wrists
2) Draw on yourself instead
3) Draw or write poetry
4) Just basically keep yourself busy and everything.

yes, welcome!

I'd bet that your feelings about your recent loss might be behind these urges to harm yourself. Maybe if you could talk about them, get some support, they might go away.

often, when feelings don't come out with words, they come out with actions. mMaybe that's what's happening now for you.
