Im very depressed today and kinda feel like cutting, been about 7 months clean now. How do i distract myself from this? Haven' felt this in a while

don’t listen to fuckhead do not drink when you feel like this, don’t drink in general honestly. firstly is there anyone you can talk to on the phone? i usually try to talk to my boyfriend if he’s free since he’s a good distraction. if i don’t have anybody to talk to then i try coloring, it gets my hands moving and takes my mind off of self harm. you can even draw on yourself where you want to cut. i also find that breathing techniques can calm me down and along with that light meditation to curb the thoughts.
I use to self harm myself it’s been 7 years since I’ve done it.. meditate, write positive affirmations, put music on take your mind off it go off for a walk 🤗

@LittleTinks definitely agree. Get out of the house. For me, being alone at home gave me to much access to cut. Get with friends, away from home. Try and have fun.
It’s been a long journey but I got there in the end and learnt to never be alone and always keep your mind calm and positive @leonk

@LittleTinks totally same. Get you a friend you you can truly trust and ask them if they can be your rock in these times. My friend molly has been there for me more times than I can count.

hi. i’m feeling the same today. keep reminding yourself it will pass, and no matter how bad the feeling gets, you don’t have to act on it.
I’m not sure what distractions help you the most, or what you’re able to handle when you’re feeling depressed.
maybe a new game, movie, show?
you could ask a family member or friend to hang out.
i’m going to attempt to clean and do laundry and go outside.
i hope it passes soon

Sorry to read that, you need to get some professional help. Please don't start cutting yourself again.
Nooooo. I'm always here if you want to talk. I have missed you on here.

Get some alcohol in your system and play some games
