How to deal with self-harm alone?

according to my experience, you should take an empty box or any object you hate and break that not u:)

No-one should deal with self-harm alone, speaking to close friends or family. One of us here or contacting a local support group.

it can be hard dealing with this type of situation, but instead of self harming grab a texta and just draw pictures of things you like, it will help so much :)

Think about all the good things in your life and channel that into better thoughts. Think about the scars you will cause doing it too.

Reach out! It's extremely hard to deal with mental illness that had gone to physical harm alone. Tell someone, go seek therapy, read a personal help books, etc.

You can't deal with it alone except hurting yourself more and more with time. If you want to stop, you need someone.. If you aren't comfortable talking about it to people you know you can seek help online.

Look up how to properly care for your wounds, try to find online therapy, pro-recovery groups, healthy ways to cope and people like you. Ask them if your wounds look okay, they're not infected, ways how to dispose blades safely and their recommended therapists.

There are a plethora of ways to deal with self-harm alone. The key thing for me is to distract myself until the urge to harm goes away. I'm finding that it's a long process to get my mind completely out of the cycle, but well worth it. Eventually, you won't even need to distract yourself because the urge won't be there anymore. It is best to create a list of what to do. I like to either take a walk, surf the web for inspirational or funny material, or listen to music. If they urge is really intense and I find that I have to do something physical, rubbing ice on my skin or working out are great coping mechanisms. My favorite is kissing the skin that I so awfully and roughly cut open in the past. To me, it feels as if I'm giving myself the ultimate self-care by giving light kisses instead :)
