Cutting and scratching my arm
have been going through some of your depression lately. My only outlet are way I can release my feelings is through scratching and cutting my arm. Any advice or what is a good way to divert that energy.
I have found the app calm harm has really helped me. I never used the coping or exercises on there though (I've tried so many recommended coping strategies from all sorts of places and only sh and drawing has helped me). But it has, I'm gonna guess, a thousand different things in different categories to help cope. It also helps you build a comfort space for yourself called a safety net on there, a journal, keeps track of your urges, and keeps a clean streak for you with medals. I find for me personally that keeping track of the streak and reaching clean milestones on there is what motivated me the most.
