If youve stopped what helped. If not what methods do you use. Any coping skills i can try

Possible trigger:

I been self harming since the age of 10. Started with skin picking until i would bleed. And bashing until i would bruise. Then it turned into saftey pins l. By the time i was 13 i started using razors tacs and scapels.i also used to burn myself with salt and ice. If i could get my hands on thems. Now for the last 5 or so years i been burning.

My body looks atrocious. On top of all that im underweight but feel huger than ever. I just dont know what to do at this point. What methods did or do you use. ( just curious)

Do any of you have any coping skills or things that work to helps

Hello ls20071: I'm sorry your concerns are not ones I can be of help with. Hopefully there will be other members who will have some tips they can share. However I believe this is your first posted thread here on PC. So... welcome to Psych Central.

The best that I would be able to do, with regard to your concern, is to direct your attention to the list of things to do instead of hurting yourself that is contained in the "Sticky" at the top of the Self Injury forum page. Here's a link to that listing:

Things to do instead of hurting yourself

I hope you find PC to be of benefit.

Setting small goals helps. Like to not SH for x number of days. And then build on that. There's lots of ideas of things that help which Skeezyks linked in the response above. Do you have a therapist? HUGS Kit
