I am a former self-injurer, and I finally stopped cutting at the end of 8th grade (I'm going into 9th). I've been happy since the end of 8th grade and haven't had a reason to cut, or I'v refrained myself from cutting. But that's how I deal with stress. And I'm afraid I'll relapse this year from stress. I've been to therapy, and I write a lot. Is there any other way I could possibly deal with stress that isn't destructive?
thanks in advance!
okay, first of all i cut so i know what you are going through. you cut because of stress right? well if thats the case then if kyou think something is stressing you out then you need to just let it go. sometimes if you are stressed out playing a sport or doing something with your friends will help you get your mind off whatever is stressing you out. this doesnt work for me but whenever you feel the need to cut keep a rubber band on your wrist and snap it and play with it instead of cutting. what sometimes helps me when i am stressed out is talking to one of my colse friends about whatever is stressing me.. if none of this works for you then you can go to the website www.selfinjury.net and they have tons of healthy alternatives.
i really hope i helped and good luck!
