yes i have very strong urges all the time to self harm 😞

@Former-MemberI have urges to self harm quite a lot at the moment ( it has been many months now since the last time). Journalling sounds like a great idea, I use many creative arts/writing based activities to help me explore my world. I also find it to be a great way of unpacking what is going on with certain feelings and emotions. I sometimes just name things for the sake of naming them and then try and see how they all fit together.

Given that you have stated that you are not in a good space right now, I wouldn't suggest somethng that could potentially provide you with more triggers such as writing and naming what is going on.

I live with my head buried in headphones. I have painstakingly created numerous playlists to help me out of various emotional situations. I jokingly refer to my portable music player and headphones as my 'distress tolerance kit'.

If chatting on here keeps you 'distracted' then I encourage you to continue to do so. What are some of your favourite things to do when you are feeling this way? what have you tried in the past?
