I get urges too. If I'm feeling low or get urges I make sure I'm not alone. For example I'll go into another room and be with my husband because I know I wouldn't do anything in front of him. If your home alone then visit a friend or go for a walk in a public place. That way you can't do anything harmful to yourself. It won't cure the urges but being alone to your thoughts will tempt you to make action. All the best x

You just need to use all the will power and strength you have not to give in. You have that power. Believe it.

i find my self getting new tattoos when i want to self harm i was once a cutter and now cut free for about 10 years there are ways to fight the urges to harm reaching out to others is one of the best ways i found and a new tattoo helps me too.reach out don't fight alone

If it gets bad find someone to talk to whom you trust when you have those urges to see if they can talk you through it

@Jlplate70 I also get tattoos when I get a very bad urge to self harm I was cutter as well . I haven't cut in years until a couple months back when I had a break down and have no memory of it. I have deep scars on my forearm that can't even be covered by a tattoo looking into laser treatment
