First off, great job on the six months! Go through everything you can think of to fight the urges. If something doesn't work well, go on to the next thing. Just keep going like that until you are completely out of things. Eventually either the passage of time or some of those things might make it feel more bearable. I also sometimes will multitask with my strategies. For example, I like holding play-doh, chewing gum, listening to music, and going online. But doing those one at a time don't work very well. But if I combine them sometimes it can distract you enough to where you can handle the urges better.

One thing that I have done that helps me to not cut, is something I wish was more popular, to take a red pen or marker and make red marks up and down everywhere you cut. For me its my arms, so I would make red marks up and down each side of each arm. By the time I was done, i had the visual stimulation i wanted, and also i had no room to cut! it was all filled up by ink marks. and i didnt want ink to get into my body. so there ya go, it worked for me. hope ive helped

I never could use the red pen thing - it would trigger me to SH anyhow. I like the play-doh idea......I love play-doh!
But moving on - ((((((((((((darkmood)))))))))))) PLease talk about this with the people you trust, and most of all celebrate the 6 months you didn't SH - That's fantastic! Every day without it is an achievement.
