How do I stop urges to hurt myself?

Try and find other things to occupy your mind so you don't have that urge and find alternative methods. Then after a while you will not have that urge anymore. Self harm is an addiction, once you start an addiction it's hard to end it. You just need to try and work through it and try and find other ways of coping.

First you need to figure out why you want to hurt yourself. Some may feel the urge due to insecurity, family problems, etc. Some tips I have for controlling the urge are as follows: Drawing: Just draw how you feel. If you don't know how you feel, draw what you think of in your happy place. Draw in pen where you want to harm yourself: Just don't jab yourself with the pen. This worked in the past for me. Snap a rubber band: This is not really recommended, I've done this before. It does work most of the time. Talk to a trusted friend: Usually they can help clear your mind. Listen to music: Just get lost in the sound. There's plenty of tips. Tumblr has alot of tips aswell.

Try to listen to happen music. Go out get some fresh air. Close your eyes think of a good moment you had or something nice you want to do. Drink lots of water. Write down your thoughts/things that bother you.

Listen to music, read, watch T.V., hangout with friends, play with your pets, play games, sit outside!!!!!!!

That depends on you and what your hobbies are - sometimes when I feel like I want to harm myself, I call someone up and talk to them ( about anything besides hurting yourself) or play with an animal, start chatting with someone (like typing) or even just playing Video Games. Some people like to put their negative energy into something positive, like study even.

Distract yourself. One way to do this is to get a piece of paper and two different colored pencils/pens. Draw small shapes in one color. Don't stop until you cover up the whole page. Then color in all the shapes with the other color. This is called stress drawing. If this doesn't help, keep finding ways to distract yourself and express your feelings until the urge goes away.

I remembered my mom. She said me if you die everyone will bi sad but then everybody will forget it. And I remembered my goals.

You start having the urge to want to live your life. You surround yourself with people that care for you, support you and confront you

try and do something instead for example ... listen to music , draw , color in , write down how you feel

Hurting yourself is simply a coping mechanism, and that's okay - but, if you want to stop, then you need to find alternative ways in which to cope with any difficult emotions you might be experiencing, the urges themselves probably wont go away until you make a habit of using a different technique to tackle your emotions.
