Getting through the urge
This sounds kinda silly but a new technique that I seem to have adopted when trying to fight the urge to self-harm
Talk to someone
Don’t be worried about other students’ stigma or that teachers will find out and your grades will be affected, if anything, talking to my counselor helped my grades because it helped my depression.
Do it for you
Take all of the energy that was going into SI and put it into something else, something that you can put your whole self into.
Keep Fighting
"Like everyone says, self-injury urges are part of recovery. I haven’t cut in 10 months."
Tell Someone
Tell someone you can trust, someone who won’t laugh at you; tell your teacher or a counsellor.
Light at the end...
you can overcome this. I haven't cut in about 1.5 years now and I can honestly say it feels great
Fight every single day
The road to recovery has been anything but easy but I'm still walking and I hope to eventually make it all the way there.
I. Will. Stop.
Currently I am trying to stop self-injuring. I will stop. It takes a while...
You can be free of SI!
I used to think I would always SI...that I couldnt stop it. I was wrong. So wrong.
You can get through this!
Make a pact with a close friend or family member, someone you trust. Because you hurt them when you hurt yourself.
