Try to keep yourself busy. Try to keep yourself grounded, whether it's by smell, touch, sound, or sight. Use your senses to keep you grounded and aware. Avoid depressing things; stick to happy music, funny programmes or movies, draw funny things, write about funny things. Be creative, if you can; whether it's an instrument, poetry, art, or something else. And absolutely avoid solidarity; those moments when you're alone, sat there ruminating, are a killer to your ability to stay focused and grounded.

Remember, when you fail to follow the above and you are at a loss: you are never alone, as people all over the world suffer with the biological and psychological addiction that is self-harm. Somewhere, someone is struggling with it, but conversely, many people all over the world are successfully fighting it, and there are countless people moving on from it; it's a beacon of hope.

Comes from experience. 4+ years free.

Best of luck, everyone.



P.S

If anyone has anything to add that could perhaps help others, you're very welcome to post under this thread, so that others can see it.
