My drug
Most people dont understand self harm
its an addiction and cant go away with one simple word and takes lots of work and healing
for me instead of drinking or taking drug substance my drug is self harm
@tryinglittleaudrey
I have a weird suggestion, but it might work...
Have you thought about using music instead?
Like... Make a playlist. Nothing depressing! Just music you can play LOUD when you feel like doing SH?
@jesusredeemedme2425
i actually have playlists for my different moods and most of the time I choose my depressing playlist that I call in the feels, which now I think of it I should get like an upbeat playlist that I can jam out to.Thank you, I will try it out
You should make a list asking for recommendations from the crew ;)
@jesusredeemedme2425
This is weeks past, but i made a playlist I call Cheer up, audrey
Thank you for the suggestion, it helps
I love this! I’m so glad <3
Drinking coffee instead?
Like whenever you feel the urge to. Or chewing gum.
Listening to hard rock/metal or basically anything to distract yourself helps too.
Coming from someone who used to self harm
Hi 😌
I used to self harm for years. I didn't know think I was ever going to stop. I started writing poetry and that seemed to help for some time. I loved writing, I don't write anymore but when I did I felt better to get whatever I was feeling down and out on paper. I haven't self harmed in a few years (at the time I did I was living with toxic family and I couldn't handled what they were dealing so I did a stupid. Anyways there is hope to stop self harming. Stay strong and keep your head up.
