It is highly recommended that you don't deal with self-harm alone. Feel free to contact the suicide hotline to help you get through with this.

In my own experience, I found that writing all my anger and frustration down on paper when I got the urge to self harm. Even if you’re writing down the worst things imaginable, at least you are not harming your body

Meet people and experience new things and tell yourself that you'd do it tomorrow..It helps trust me..Do something you don't regret and enjoy yourself..If you enjoy yourself..the thought wouldn't come

I always tend to use my coping skills or talk to a trusted friend or family member. If that doesn't work, I usually call my mentor or my therapist.

Always use positive self talk. Remember what you manifest becomes your reality. For example, if you tell yourself everyday: Today I am going to distract myself to avoid self-harming. The more you say it, the more you think it and then it becomes your reality.

For one you would have to stop and that is the hardest part for many. There is some things that can help you stop, like the butterfly project. So you would draw a butterfly on the body part that you harm the most you want to try to keep it alive so you can’t harm in or around it. And try talking to people who you trust about what your going through. Or a complete stranger, just get things off your chest it helps instead of dealing with the thoughts alone, try saying them out loud to someone let them know what’s going on inside your head.
Have a helpful insight? Don’t keep it to yourself.
Sharing helps others and its therapeutic for you.
