It isn't easy because you develop techniques slowly. Lots of distractions are good. Hugging yourself sometimes works a bit.

Remember each day that you don't do it is a victory.

Sending strength and a belief that you are headed in a better direction.@kingtaxsum8

@kingtaxsum8

When I was very suicl they gave me a rubber band to put on my wrist, and any time I felt the desire I would pull back on the rubberband and snap myself very hard, im not sure if that if a safe thing but i eventually stopped by putting a heart in pen on my wrists and decided to do self care and therapy and meds too

You can overcome this! Blessings, Day
