What can i do instead of hurting myself?

Instead of hurting yourself try doing something physical, such as doing a sport or involves moving around.

Find stuff to do. Discover your hobbies. Draw, sing, make new friends, enroll in activities. Read books or learn new language.

Find things that will distract you from those urges to harm yourself. Do things that you enjoy. Write something, create some art, talk to someone, go for a walk, play with a pet if you have one, cry, it can help release those feelings and it's OK to cry. Watch funny videos, do anything. Do anything that will distract you and take your mind off the negative things.

lots of things! go for a run, call a friend, come here - to this site, read a book, listen to music, write a poem, make your favorite snack, eat some chocolate, get ice cream, watch a Disney movie... the possibilities are limitless

Sing a song, listen to upbeat music, exercise, go on 7cupsoftea, cry, play with your pet, talk to a parent or someone you trust,

You could try getting a stress ball or focus on what your friends would think if they knew you were hurting yourself

Instead of hurting yourself, you could draw, read a book, listen to music. watch T.V, hang out with friends, go for a walk etc. I know from experience that anything is better than hurting yourself. Try doing something that you enjoy.

Go on Youtube (you will find a video about anything, but the real winner here are cat videos ;) ) draw, write, cook, cry, read, hold ice in your hand, draw with red pen on your body, do a challenging math problem, learn something new, play with a pet, go for a walk, exercise, drink some tea, build something (small or big), help someone, do a mindfulness activity, meditate, look up at the stars, admire the sunset, gaze at the sunrise, inhale the scent of the rain, feel the wind in your hair, realize that you are worth so much more than you feel.

Sometimes I write a poem. I guess a lot of people do that but just the feeling of writing even a simple thing can give you a good sense of accomplishment. Or I get up and bake a chocolate cake. It's a very simple cake, flour, baking powder, sugar, cocoa, mixed up right in the baking pan. Then you just pour in some water and oil, vinegar and a little vanilla extract, mix it all up. And bake. It's pretty fast so you can do it quickly and it's delicious.

Find a hobby or outlet. If you are athletic, go for a run, bike ride, or any other physical activity. If you are creative, draw or write your feelings down. Using a marker, drawing lines or doodles on your body often helps as an alternative to cutting. Going for a walk, if possible, listening to music, ripping up paper, or running your hands under cold/hot water can also help.
