Healthy Alternatives to Self harm

Hi everyone. Look, I know what you're going through isn't easy but you're not alone! And I mean that. I 100% understand that you may have already tried things to stop self harming, but it's ok if they didn't work. Here are 3 things that work for me.

No. 1: Blasting music in my head phones. I prefer heavy metal, because it releases that same chemicals that your brain does when you self harm!

No. 2: Drawing were you want to cut with a red pen. This one honest works the best for me.

No. 3: Go on a walk to somewhere remote (if possible) and just let out all your emotions. Scream, cry, let it all out.

I always carry a first aid kit with me for when I do cut, and it gives me a sense of security. If these don't work, its ok! Keep looking for a good outlet and you will find it. I don't know what you're going through, but you are not alone. And I mean that. I am so proud of you for making it this far. Even if it doesn't feel like it, you are so so strong, and you can always reach out to me if you need advice of are struggling.
