How to deal with self-harm alone?

First off ditch the blades, lighter, ect. Secondly find another way to cope whether through art music exercise ect. Third know if you slip up its ok. Honestly you have to weave yourself off. When you have the urge use the Rubberband trick or hold Ice

Find an activity to keep your hands and mind busy, such as drawing, painting, sculpting, finger-painting, or any other art forms you can think of.

I always look for something i can distract myself with wether it be a tv show or a movie. or sometimes i play music to get my mind off of it.

Try being positive understand that harming yourself makes things even worse read motivational books watch videos try talking to someone when you feel like harming yourself

You can try to do... contemplation. Self harm just gives you temporary feeling of joy and excitement but it's bad afterwards. Besides, it doesn't solve a thing ❤ you can start with loving yourself and make sure your own self that you dont deserve to have those scars on your skin :)

Know that whatever it is that is troubling you can be resolved. It may not seem like it and I know that this sounds cheesy but just think of your problem as rain.. it starts and it may stay a while but the rain always stops

Remind yourself that you are worth so much. You do not need to inflict harm upon yourself, as you are a fantastic human being, and you are more than your situation. You have a purpose and there is more to life than pain.

When you are alone it is important to help yourself find a way to cope. Find a safe place and do something that makes you feel calm, like taking a warm shower or listening to happy music. If you don't think you can find a coping skill yourself then always call a support person.

The most important thing is to BE PRESENT IN THIS MOMENT. If your thoughts wander to regrets from the past, or worry about the future, don't judge yourself and simply BE in the present moment again. Working on maintaining compassion for yourself can keep you stable until you can get help. Ultimately, when you can, you MUST reach out to someone, from writing a letter that will never be sent, all the way to dialing 911. You are NOT alone, and this moment is yours to live, one minute at a time if you have to.

If you are feeling the urge to self-harm, consider going somewhere to be around people. This could be as simple as going into the living room to be with your family or roommates. You can also (if you're alone in your house or are unable to leave) call someone to talk with. This could be a family member, trusted friend, or a hotline
