Hi,
(Trigger)How do you fight urges to self-harm? Days I can’t stand it and feel I could lose it. I started back when I was 8. My older brother had caught me but didn’t tell our parents or say anything to me. |

I think the primary way in which people try to fight the urge to self-harm is through the use of coping strategies. Here's a link to the "Sticky" in the Self-Injury forum (just in case you hadn't already noticed it) that lists things to do instead of hurting yourself, :
Things to do instead of hurting yourself And then also here's a link to an article, from Psych Central's archives, that offers some suggestions. The article is targeted toward parents of children who may be self-harming. However (hopefully) you may still find some useful suggestions within it: Helping Your Child Reduce Self-Harming Behavior

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
