anyone know how to cope with self harm?
does anyone know any distractions or ways to deal with urges of self harm?
Kinda struggling to cope at the moment but don’t want to give up my 27 day clean streak.
Hey, @willingSugar9815
I'm really sorry you are struggling with self harm thoughts. You are so strong to be reaching out, I'm so proud of you for making it to 27 days, we will always be here to support you. I would strongly suggest you look at the 7Cups help guides as they can be a good starting point to finding support. You can find them here: https://www.7cups.com/self-harm/
There are many things you can try to do to help distract your mind away from these thoughts. Please remember that different things work for different people, so be sure to try a range of different techniques.
I hope you find the help guide worthwhile, remember if you can make it though these 20 minutes, you'll be okay!
