I have self harm a lot recently and try ways to prevent myself doing it like the elastic band on my wrist but once the thoughts are there it always seems too late for it to be effective. What things can I try to help it before the urges get too much?
hugs. you could find things that you can fully focus on when i get urges i play my guitar or go on the xbox for a bit on a game that needs my to compleatly focus on (Stuntman ignition, Grid, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, PGR 4 and Pro Evolution Soccer) that usually helps keep mine away
Sometimes I dont realise though that it is getting to that stage that i need to hurt myself because I get wrapped up in it all, I seem to realise that things have gone too far when I have done it... I want to be able to not block it all out previous, it all seems automatic now
try and always keep your mind busy something to keep you that busy you cant do it always have people around that you cant do it in front of and that might help a bit maybe
