It's the middle of the night, I woke up after sleeping for a few hours and I couldn't get back to sleep. So I went to play the piano (I have a digital piano in my room, with earbuds so I don't wake the whole house). I was playing "Beauty and the Beast" when I started thinking on the lyrics, how everyone hates the Beast and everything, and I started applying that to myself, and now I really feel like cutting. Help?

think about how belle sees through 'the beast' and loves him even though he thinks he's doomed and unlovable!

as for personal distractions I like to put on music and color in an adult coloring book. surprisingly helpful and soothing for me. I hope you find peace

Even the Beast's heart eventually became hopeful when he lifted his head to notice Belle, hear the chirping birds, watch the gentle snowfall...It took a while for him to be captivated by the scene because he had to come out of his castle to appreciate it. I'd encourage you to look at or think of something you consider truly beautiful. It might inspire you and help you remember how the rest of the story played out.
