This Helps For Me

[REGRET]

I want to share a method I always do when I feel the urge to cut.
When I'm alone and trying to sleep and I get those horrible thoughts and I just want to go downstairs and grab a razor, I put my finger to my throat and feel my pulse. That usually helps me. Then I think, "I'm alive, I'm breathing and that's what important."
I'm not a psychologist so I don't know if it's a good method but it works for me.
Delete this post if this is not appropriate, thank you.

That's cool, although it probably wouldn't work for me...I find pulses pretty...disgusting =\ LOL

I have actually found that laying my head down and listening to my SO's heart beating always has a way of calming me and giving me the courage to say no. Not exactly the same but still close to it :) Glad that you have found a way to say no and are sharing it with others :)
