Answer 13

well i mean i have been through the system and i have seen just about anykind of struggle or situation that u can think of so im sorta an expert in this area do to the fact that i was arrested when i was 12 and got out when i was 15 and i went all over ohio, to all kinds of residentials foster homes jdc mental hospital like ive seen it all been through it all yk, and the stuff that helps ppl with self harm is just figuring out how to express there pain in other ways
like ive seen some where they used art, journaling, expressing it verbally to someone, yk there are just so many other ways to express your pain and i understand that some ways work for some and for others it dont u just gotta test out all kinds of coping skills and find which one works best for you

Answer 14

Try fasting off of it immediately. The addiction gets worse if you do little by little. Also the mindset of "one aint gonna hurt" is not a good mindset because then it turns into that "well one more." then its gets worse. Use people as your coping if that works for you, If not just do something you love or get busy doing something to get your mind off that addiction. So eventually you wont really remember it. I used to have problems with acid and i did this, and i got better quite rapidly after i forgot about that "one more" mindset.

Well what I used to do is draw a cute doodle like of my favorite animal or like a flower or something over the spot I was harming and when I'd go to yk I'd see the cute little doodle and not wanna hurt it also finding a good hobby to take your mind off it helps too 💕
