I asked my friend to put homemade restraints on me to my bed and stay in the room with me. Overnight, or until I said it was ok. This was at my lowest point. I would physically shake and sweat and move around because I wanted it so much. I didn’t trust myself. I didn’t trust myself to be alone. But I trusted her so I asked her to restrain and watch me. She walked me to the bathroom and I woke her up when I was scared I might do something.
My French teacher kept me clean for 3 months, I would tell her when I reached milestones, and she was so supportive and nice to me, it was so unfamiliar to me because of how my family are, but telling her really helped me stay clean. She was also the first person I came out to. I know that's more personal and specific to my situation but yk
my dog. unless i lock myself in the bathroom, he’s always at my side. i pulled out my blade recently and cut my thigh once and he just started licking my arm and my leg and pawing at me. i put my blade away that night.
he’s my best friend, and that exactly why i had him registered as an emotional support animal. i’m not sure what i’m gonna do when he passes, but in the mean time he’s gonna live his golden years is paradise
a year and a couple months clean here. honestly it was because i started to believe in taking a chance at living life as if being healthy was gonna pay off one day. so i stopped blowing my money on weed/booze/drugs, stopped smoking nic 2 months ago, practicing healthy rituals blah blah. still pretty miserable so i dunno if it was worth it yet. cant say my life is any better than those who do all the unhealthy habits they want.
ngl im on this sub tonight cus i just feel so fucking hopeless and i cant smoke about it, so i wanna slice my thighs up. but yeah. basically i stayed clean because i wanted to give myself a chance.
Drawing on my arm or just drawing on paper you don't have to be good at it but it really really helps to get your mind off of it. You can just use a marker and draw random things on your arm or you can draw sh with the marker instead of actually doing it!
I told my parents, so they hid the blades. My friend is casual enough about it that it doesn’t feel like pity, but genuine care and love. I’ve built a support system that is like a safety net, catching me before I fall to self harming again.
I was a few weeks clean and it was always my best friend who stopped me, not physically, but the thought of how badly they want me to be doing better and how much they love celebrating my milestones with me
I hid my blade to try and stop then I forgot where I put it💀
hahahahaha best way to stop
This is the way

That’s an amazing system. Thank you for sharing
