Yes! I have a long history of doing self harm. My whole body is all scarred up. What I learned from when I went inpatient for 3 weeks is that we need to distract self from doing self harm. For instance the number one thing is try the frozen orange technique. With holding a frozen orange. Or put both hands in a cup of ice. Another thing is do a DBT therapy which is called TIPP. T is for temperature. (Did your face or extremity in cold water for about 30 seconds.) I is for intense exercise. P is for paired breathing. P is for progressive muscle relaxation.

One thing that I took on was coloring a lot with markers. And mixing different markers to make a new color. Everyone enjoyed my coloring. Right now I started coloring a lot of muscle Cars. I have a coloring book with coloring cars.
