How to deal with self-harm alone?

This is something that can be tough and rough on the person. You have to want to not do the self harm to get through the time you are alone. One thing that has helped me stay on track is having a list of 20 or more coping mechanisms written down and easily found. Instead of going for your self harm tool kit of sorts that you may have hidden or objects used to harm yourself, I go for things that can help. I eat a snack, take a walk, play guitar, write in journal about my immediate feelings, I call someone I trust to help keep me safe, do something creative like color, craft, sew, or anything to keep both my hands and my mind occupied. coming here has also helped. when I need someone on 7cups to help keep me from doing the bad that I want to do to myself, I always find someone that can cheer me up and keep me going. You can too. Staying safe and staying away from the negative things is hard, but well worth it when you do it. Take care of yourself.

Find things that help show your meaning to yourself such as interactive mood lifting activities, speak with friends, find someone to vent to whom will listen, don't worry about the past, Always talk to someone and never feel emberrassed about being depressed or suicidal. People go through it and you can be helped and you DO matter!!! Refer as well to the national suicide and prevention hotline, seek a therapist and don't be ashamed for doing so. Speak Up and Speak Out

Dealing with self-harm alone? I don't think it's possible but maybe it is. I know when I was going through I NEEDED help but I never asked for it. Instead I let the help come to me. Even at the moment it didn't really seem like much help it really was.

You shouldn't have to deal with it alone. You need to tell someone. It will get better, I promise you that

you should Make sure you keep all your wounds clean, see how long you can go without doing it, try to get into therapy, and do your best to not be ashamed of it. There is no shame in your struggle.

Well start with throwing away what ever you are harming yourself with. You cannot have that influence, a good way to cope is hold and ice cube in your hand. It hurts but is much less harmful to your body.

Try to resist the urges to do it. Throw away the blades but keep bluntish necessary ones. If you have made a cut then clean it and cover it with plaster/bandage to stop infection. Try talking to a doctor if you cant talk to anyone else, but try to keep yourself busy to stop the urges.

It's hard to deal with self-harm alone without first understanding what self-harm is clinically and understanding what self-harm is to you. Why do you self-harm? And why under that reason? And why under that reason's reason? Deep questions. Love yourself along the way. Pause and think. What can you do about those underlying reasons to change one-day the reasons that cause you to self-harm? Can you change something about your environment, your social interactions, your self-esteem or mindfulness? If not now, is there a time eventually where it is possible - in which case, what healthy distractions can you treat yourself to until then? It's okay to have this conversation with a close friend, parent, or therapist. There's no shame in seeking help. Asking here is an amazing first step. There may be free group meetups for like-minded people in your area as well.

Instead of self harming, you should take a pen and just draw on wherever you an to self harm. You can either scribble, or draw lines or draw actual designs.

It's difficult to deal with it by yourself. Talking about it to someone you trust can be a good start. You can also try some alternatives to self harm.
