I am going to try and concentrate on the positives. Everyone here is very different, and i think we should make the most form that and try and draw on other peoples experiences to help ourselves. What i want to know is, what helps you ignore the urge to cut? What do you do (other than self harm) to feel better when you are down? Has your therapist/psychologis (if you have one) suggested any useful ideas that have helped you, or may help others?
My therapist suggested to me that i link a happy memory with each of my finger, so that when i am depressed i can go through them, and as i touch each one, i recall the memory for that finger. Each memory is meant to relate to a certain emotion sorta thing. The first is when you have felt cared for, the second when you have felt proud of something you've done, the third when you have helped someone, the 4th when you have felt love towards someone or something, and the 5th something that you suceeded at...i think...or it could have been something that made you feel happy...i forget =)
But anyway, that's just one idea, what do you find helps you?
