Hi Der_Sohn_des_Leides!!

Seems I'm a few posts behind but I'm here to offer some support.
I know how the isolation thing feels..I'm out of school too and I always struggle with my self injury through the summer because I am isolated from people except for work and my family.

Usually when I get really strong urges and feel really unsafe I get out of the house..I go for a walk and just remove myself from the situation.
Excersing is good relase too!

Keep reminders of things that make you feel really good or of things you hope for in the future around. I keep a journal and in the pocket of it I keep posts from people here that have supported me and the requirments of what it takes to be a state trooper because that is a career I would love to have. It helps to remind me of why I shouldn't cut.

Maybe watching a movie to distract yourself or reading a book?
Or instead of screaming into a pillow maybe punching it or throwing it around?
Maybe drawing and writing how you feel on paper and then ripping the paper up..that one has helped me alot.
You could always make a post here in the Self Injury Fourm too!!

If you ever want to talk do feel free to pm me I am always up to listening!!

Best wishes and I hope this has helped!!
