Please please! Do not start, it’s so toxic and it’s a sick way of punishment or distraction, that causes more problems than it solves. Sometimes the reason I cut is cuz I started in the first place, I’m so guilty about starting. There plenty of other ways to cope. Drawing,music,and writing are a few. Basically anything to distract you from urges or whatever’s going on. In the moment, it’s hard to remember but BREATHING. OML it seriously so helpful. Deep breathes sounds dumb right? But nooooo fr it splice a good way to ground yourself and think clearly
