self-harm coping mechanismsI'm glad you're feeling better, for future reference I thought I might give some advice on what helped with me. cat-trans

let me just quote this paper that they gave me for anxiety coping mechanisms:

"if you are prone to cutting, take a marker and draw some cuts. If you like, you can paint on bleeding blood with nail varnish. Then stitch the wound with a black marker."

there's also some good ones that I've personally used like putting a rubber band on your wrist and using it to hit your wrist or digging a nail into your wrist without causing the skin to break. Also just doing stuff with your hands with a singular focus until you feel better.

you can also write down on a paper why harming yourself would be good or bad for you, with a focus on what the consequences would be. Like how would it make you feel short term? How about long term? You should try to be objective when weighing both the pros and the cons.

spoilerThank you. Its been a while since I have dealt with self harm like this so I have forgotten a lot of the coping mechanisms I used to use. I'll try to remember and I wrote this advice down. meow-hug
