**self Harm Question. Please Do Not Read If Your Triggered**
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

whats your escape? Ive really been wanting to self harm but ive been holding off. i dont really want to write this because i dont want to trigger anyone. i know this isnt really triggering but id rather be safe than sorry. ive been using music and tv as an escape but the urge is getting stronger. i dont have anyone to talk to and i just need someone i guess.

Sometimes you can write on yourself with a red market, or hold your fingertips under some lukewarm water. Another thing you might try is getting ice cubes out of the freezer and squeezing them in your hands.

I get an elastic band, put it on my wrist and pull it back as far as I can and let it go doing it several times, it sends a rush of pain and adrenaline so I don't feel the urge to cut x

I like going on runs,sleeping, or whining to internet friends. Bad habit includes minor drug use.

Whenever I get suicidal I have ideation of self harm, but I have never done it. Don't think I ever would.
