Hey there! As someone else who struggle with ||self harm|| and attempts, I would like to try and help you with relapsing. It can be very difficult to stop, in fact- I have also been struggling to stay clean as well! Somethings that help me are and not limited to: when you have the urge to ||cut||, get someone who you can trust to keep you safe and away from dangerous objects or places. If you cannot do that, distraction can also take your mind off of those thoughts, I try to keep myself comfortably busy! Meaning I stay busy and distracted, but not overwhelmed. I enjoy knitting, making bracelets, cooking, drawing, and coloring always seems to work for me. If you cannot keep yourself busy, or you cannot take your mind off of it, I recommend getting something cold and holding it on your wrist for a moment. It can ease the urge slightly from my experiences. Grounding techniques also work really well! Stretching, doing yoga, and more! If none of these help you or the urge is too strong, call the ||suicide || hotline. Please do not give up, life is very challenging, but you can't give up. Help is out there. People care.
