alternatives to self-harm

things i’ve found helpful and comforting in overcoming the urge to self-harm:

-covering myself with band-aids where i want to c*t
-painting my nails a new color
-putting on fake tattoos
-alphabetizing my books
-buying a new stuffed animal
-naming all of my stuffed animals
-collecting a new crystal or stone and carrying it around
-hyper-focusing on one specific thing like that crystal
-recording my feelings in my mood journal, seeing if patterns surface, and identifying my triggers
