Things that might help
- distracting yourself
- going to see family/friends
- if you self harm a lot, maybe try less harmful ways, e.g putting an elastic band around your wrist and pulling it when you get the urge.
- take up a hobby
- write your feelings down, you can keep a journal or maybe write your feelings down and destroy it as a way of letting go
- TALK TO SOMEONE!! I can't stress this enough, I know it's hard to open up but even a simple conversation can distract you or lift your mood. Even if you don't want to talk about self harm!

I really loved how you outlined so many of these important things to help people who may be in need! These are all really helpful techniques that people may use to help distract, or relieve the urge to self-harm! I definitely agree that it can be really helpful to talk to people. I understand how hard it may be to go through this, much less if you feel alone! Thanks for sharing all of these amazing thoughts with us <3
