Whats alternatives to cutting myself?!
Question:
Whats alternatives to cutting myself?
stuff like that rubber band thing only not because i don't have rubber bands. i supposedly quit a while ago, because my parrents found out, but i've still done it a couple of times since then. i've been like, biting my wrist hard, not drawing blood but i still don't like it as much and then i'll just have a problem with biting myself. like to me that seems even more psycho... i probably would be cutting myself now but i'm not because its summer and i have to wear bathing suits and short sleeve shirts and such. but anyways now i have a lot of pent up rage and err wanting to be violent and i can't do it on myself any more. helllpp.
Answers:
i know this seems ca-razy but see a psyciatrist. I use to be like you but i am seeing someone and she has helpped sooooo much!!!! also talk to your friends, they've helped me soooooooooooooooooooooooooo much! Accually, one of my friends told me she was and i had no idea and the only reason she knew was because i was an idiot and brought short sleves to gym. so we have been helping eachother by giving each other advice on how to avoid it when we feel the need to cut.
Here are some things that help me not cut my self:
take a walk or run
play volley ball against my sister, dad, anyone (hitting the ball helps so base ball soft ball or anything that you hit something with would help)
i do karate so i would practice karate
i would play with an animal (in my case dogs, guinea pigs and horses)
blast music (you dont have to dance, and also if the music upsets you change it)
take a shower (ok i am not sure if you r a girl or boy but if u r a girl trying not to nick my self shaving but the feel of the razor accually helped even though i was trying hard not to nick my self, funny right?)
reading
