Forgive yourself and set goals for yourself to quit. Try to talk to someone about it, it's a lot harder to work through it yourself.

Use coping techniques or distraction techniques. Distracting yourself from the urge to self harm can really help and can prevent you from self harming.

Just slowly increase the time between cutting, from an hour to two etc, if you feel a desperate need go ahead. Setbacks are natural.

Every time you feel an urge to self harm, splash some cold water on your face, or go do something you like. If the urge gets too strong, rub an ice cube on your skin, or draw a line with a red marker instead of hurting yourself.

It can be hard to deal with alone. However there are little ways that can help you cope. One includes wearing a bobble or elastic band around your wrist and twanging it against your wrist when you feel the urge to harm yourself. Other ways include trying to be as positive as possible, for instance, taking days to go for walks, watching movies you love, buying that shirt you really liked, whilst in the act of distracting yourself, you would also be improving your mood slightly, giving less of an urge to harm yourself.

You have to find something that bring you joy when you need it, something to evade those realities that hurts you, and when you feel ready, face those things and exceed them.
Find something that give a taste to your life.

Stress relief is most important, but in a way that causes as little damage as possible. Since personal pain is so important, eat something extremely spicy. Seriously, if you think a habanero is not hot then eat a pepper/something with a pepper that is a lot hotter. You will regret it, just like wanting to get over a cold or a flu. Too spicy is painful but better than bleeding and can be as painful as needed.
